Eric,
Since you brought it up .. I am going to risk being a "dork" again
and/or boring you or others that "already" know this.
Butttttttttttt ........
A lot of people may not be aware of the relationship between Yamaha
part numbers and fastener sizes. Knowing this exists can save a
tremendous amount of time and possibly prevent ordering something that
isn't needed or having to take something apart just to see what sizes
you are dealing with.
The best way to explain how this works is to use a real fastener; in
this case a bolt, as an example. The top shock bolt on the Vmax is
Yamaha part no: 91314-08020-00. If you look carefully at the center
set of digits, (-08020-), they are not likely to do a thing for you
unless you happen to know in advance that this bolt is 08mm in
diameter and 20mm long ... get it ??!? ... "08020" is an 8x20mm bolt!
The bolts that hold the end plate on the clutch are Yamaha Part no:
97017-06025-00, so this bolt is 6x25mm. Annnnnnnnnnnddddddd ... the
screws that hold the end caps on the carburetors are Yamaha part no:
98580-05012-00, so of course they are 5x12mm.
This relationship is not accurate 100% of the time. There are some
fasteners that have special qualities that will use the center digit
alone or the entire string for other purposes.
Of course if anyone doesn't have their own microfiche ... part numbers
for 94 and 96 model year Vmaxes are available at http://www.hlsm.com
(I think "everyone" knows this) .......... I order a "lot" of
fasteners from mcmaster-carr myself, (especially the 1/2 height hex
heads), and this really helps a lot ........ I know I am getting the
right stuff. Honest !! would I lie ??
