From the posts above I have no doubt Moto can shed some light on this. If not from time to time I work with mechanical engineers, I will harass one of them with the question

am i correct in thinking (somewhere in the memory stores) that the higher the tensile rating, the more prone to shear failure?

as they are meant for load on the length of the bolt i.e. clamping strength not side/ shear load?

Thats what I was trying to explain, they will break and be way to hard to get out

Cheers XY

Helicoil Aaron sounds like the fix. I did a school thing on helicoils once 1/2 day thing learnt that a helicoil in an alloy housing is 60% stronger then the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) thread.
Go the helicoil, be careful, use plenty of grease on the drill bits and taps to catch the metal chips and pieces. Be careful it will be ok and a one time fix

Nothing Diddel its a saying we laugh about at race meeting, give it up mate. Its got nothing to do with anything let alone you honest

I wouldn’t go to super hi tensile bolts on my foot peg mount personally. Such high tensile bolts have no flex and the bolts need some flex because of the fact the weight comes and goes all the time, that and impact hits means that if or when they break again you cant drill them without a major headache. I use a grade 8 and change them every 6 to 9 months.

XR650’s also suffer this problem, some people dowel the mounts that helps, but all the overseas sites I have looked at say be careful of to high a tensile as the bolts need some flex

Just my thoughts

It can go over the brake but had suffered some love with its previous owner and kinks when over the top.

Works fine like that though check it out mate
