rear suspension bolt (bottom) spinning
07/06/10 at 20:11:01
I was just tightening the bolts... and right rear bottom bolt just kept spinning.... yes I was holding the other end so it should have tightened. I guess it is stripped. Anyone else have issues with savage nuts and bolts?
Should I replace this? or is this the way it is on the suspension bolt.

Thanks.
So far, it seems that suzuki really used cheap bolts, nuts and screws. I guess they needed to save $1.

IDK about their other bikes, but the nuts/bolts on this one are crappy.

day 6 since ordering the bolts from Cheapparts. Even did it expedited. Sheesh.... I hate not having a bike to ride. Almost want to get a spare parts bike.

Could be worse... Intruders thread the front axle into the lower fork leg, without anti-seize...
There is a reason for the old saying about Jap bikes: Ends in A may be okay, ends in I don't bother to try...
I'd still rather play with the Savage than my 63 Honda though. Least I can get most Savage parts.
I'm replacing my bolts as they break with hardened stainless steel. At least nothing critical has broken, yet.
