Claude Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 As the title says. Just finishing some wiring and put back the body parts. I noticed some threaded (M8 & M6) holes on the frame and wondering about them. I don't think I forgot something as I have no parts or bolts remaining. First pic shows both of them and second one shows M6 with cover installed. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted March 11, 2023 Global Moderator Share Posted March 11, 2023 I think the M6 holes are where the seat attaches. I am not sure about the others but is it where the missing trim piece between the seat attaches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 I don’t believe the M6 are seat related. I took some pics before dismantling anything and there was nothing in those holes. As for the M8 ones, there was nothing there also and the threads looks "brand new". Maybe for an option or for an accessory used on another model that could use the same frame? Mine is a 2017 FZ07.

Premium Member cornerslider Posted March 11, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted March 11, 2023 The M6 holes are 100% where the riders seat bolts onto the frame...... The M8 must be for adding an accessory of some kind? Mine look new as well- 1 ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reminder; I’m now 100% sure I didn’t forget to install back anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member cornerslider Posted March 11, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted March 11, 2023 That makes sense- ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyribs Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) I'm not 100%, but I believe the M8 holes are for the Yamaha optional pillion handles. Whatever they are, they are unused on a stock bike, so nothing to worry about. Edited March 16, 2023 by shinyribs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balkor2 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Makes sense on the Pillion 2022 Yamaha MT-07 Cyan Storm, 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 [VN2000A], 1997 Yamaha YZF600R - Thundercat [project] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
