triple clamp stem bolt Same as EX-500?

willi777 · October 29th, 2012, 11:42 AM

Thought maybe someone would know- is the Ninja 250 stem bolt the same as on the EX-500? I'm swapping front ends on my 500 and don't wanna use the chrome bolt that is stock on the EX-500. According to the fiche, they're both 16 x 22, but different part numbers- but that is most likely because one is chrome and one is black. If no one knows for sure, maybe you can count the threads and i can compare to the EX-500 bolt. Thanks for any info

i know the pre-gen and newer Ninja 250 bolts are interchangeable, even though they don't have the same part #. I highly doubt Kawasaki would make a different bolt for the EX-500, but just trying to confirm before i buy a nice new Ninja 250 bolt.

Skippii has a ninja 500 front end on his pregen.

The Ex-500 bolt has about 13 threads- that seems to be a 1.25 pitch. If anyone has a spare Ninja 250 bolt and can count the threads, i'll know for sure whether they're swapable...

Dunno, but it's the same as the EX250E (1986-1987 Ninja 250R). The EX250F (1988-2007) and EX250J (2008-2012) bolts are the same as each other except for paint, but that one looks a lot more different.
