Yamaha alloy sump guard - help

[ozmoto]

I have been given an original Yamaha alloy sump guard by a friend. However there are no bolts, nuts etc for attaching it to my ST10 (which currently has the plastic guard). The guard is complete with the welded mounting brackets and there is a square piece of rubber stuck on the guard. As I won't be doing any extreme riding this guard should suffice.

Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to attach this guard to my bike ie. sizes and lengths of whatever I need. Is there a listing in a manual somewhere?

Thanks.

From memory you'll probably just need some short M6 bolts/washer to attach the front brackets to the engine case and rear guard mount into the tab on the sump. dry test the length 1st so you know if they'll bottom before the bracket /guard is attached . I'd use a light thread lock on them. it should be pretty obvious when you hold the sump guard and brackets up to the engine as to where it attaches front /rear.
PS the Yam accessory Sump guard is not really a sump guard more of a stone guard, suspect you know this already but if not I'd search out holed sumps before you put it to any rocky use.

I was under the impression that the bolts from the plastic guard were used to install the OEM skid plate

They're actually a stud that the original plastic guard mounted to that you are re-using. You'll need an M6 bolt (just one IIRC) for the rear and (2) M6 nuts/washers for the front.

Thanks for the clarification, my OEM guard should be here tomorrow evening

Thanks everyone for the help. I just fitted the Yamaha alloy guard replacing the plastic one and just used the bolts etc from the plastic one. Even had one bolt left over

Did you get the rear bolt in too ?

Yes, there is only one rear bolt so I used one of the two rear ones from the plastic guard and the second metal spacer (from the plastic guard) as the bolt was too long .... not sure if that makes sense .... but it works
