Need to order some made to order bolts for the engine (08 R1) to mount it. Measured the various bits yesterday and just want to make sure I haven't messed up my readings...

The top of the engine where two bolts are used to mount to the cradle measure as M8's with a 1.25mm thread pitch. Can anyone confirm this?

And the mounting points on the drivers side seem to measure 11mm diameter. Double-checked this with the digital calipers and using M10 and M12 bolts. Is this right?

on the 2007 model, they are all M10 fine I think, the mountings on the rear are definitly m10fine.

As above - confirmed
cheers D

oops to quick! see yours is an 08, they are def all M10 x 1.25 fine, on the 04 -06 R15vy models. Can't see they would have changed on the 08, but hey ho you never know.
Cheers D

cheers both. The 07 is same as 08 model in many ways. I put a M10 in the rear and it felt loose.

If you are not bothered at keeping it original you can tap the threads out and use M12 standard as some have done, cheaper too.
Cheers D
