Hi all, new to here. New to computers and forums full stop really but I am at a loss and was wondering if any experts out there can help?
I have recently purchased a gen1 MT10SP. Looks wise; much nicer than gen2 in my opinion. Much more unique and stand outs, gen 2 seems to have succumb to the modern way and looks very similar to other nakeds, mainly the triumph speed triple. Performance and power wise the thing is more than I’ll ever need. Rides faultlessly, haven’t got any complaints whatsoever.
So, you’re wondering what my issue is? I have only noticed this issue as I have started to buy little bits and bobs to tart it up a bit, as you do. I ordered some nice Yamaha frame plugs. When I have gone to fit these (x4), all fit but one. On the upper mount bolt on near side there is a hollowed out hex head bolt sticking out?? I thought maybe some kind of lifting lug for a frame lift, but only on once side?? It isn’t a lost bolt backing out it is solid and all is well, it’s is a 24mm hex. I have looked online at pics of other mt10’s and none others seem to have this. I have asked about and nobody is none the wiser. It is a mystery.
I will attempt to post a pic and hopefully one of you fine enthusiasts will have seen this before and be able to educate me a little.
Thank you all in advance.

Welcome to the forum!!! A picture would be great cause your description might confuse. I've never heard the term "near side" but I'm deducing that this is the clutch side upper motor mount bolt that is typically where frame sliders are installed? If so, these are not usually a bolt that gets a frame plug. There's two long bolts that go through the middle of the frame and the engine. This creates two "holes" on each side of the frame that are usually the ones that get plugged. In my attached photo, I circled these green and marked them 1 and 2. Or it could be just for the upper motor mount hole and the other two could be to cover where the swing arm and frame meet. In the attached picture I circled this blue and marked it 3. So if you only have 4, it should be for four of the six holes that you have in the center of the bike on the frame that get plugged and NOT for the motor mounts towards the front of the bike where I put the red X on the attached photo. So should cover holes 1 and 2 on each side OR 1 and 3. Attachments:

The near side in the UK is usually describing the left side as you sit on the bike. Why the near side, because driving on the left over here, the left side is nearest to the kerb, hence near side.

I thought it was that but for different reasons. Haha. I thought the near side would be the kickstand side. Thanks for letting me know! |
