Seat fastener

[Jefrob64]

i have a 2009 R3t just went for a ride, and noticed the seat bolt at the rear of the seat
Is missing, what size is it? Is there a quick release type, or a knurled top one to replace it? Any help would be appreciated


[ADMIN EDIT: Touring models only require three screws:

-- 2 each M8 Hex socket head 1.25x25 in the left and right rear quarters of the rider seat
-- 1 each M6 Hex socket head 1.0x20 in a flat tab at the rear of the pillion]

No idea the size, but I do know they seize up easy, advise using Never-seize on it, and removing it once in a while

This is one of the best metal lubricants I've ever used,a little pricey but it works well.

I was somewhat pissed the dealer mechanic cross threaded one of mine (among other things he screwed up).

if anyone knows the size, I'd try and get a stainless replacement, mines pretty chewed up too

I'll look when I get home, and use a thread gauge.
