Goofy question- I was just inspecting my R1250RS and noticed three threaded holes without screws in them. Any idea what they're for? Should they have screws in them? Should they be plugged otherwise? Thanks GC

Final drive housing is same as GS - threaded holes are for GS bits |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #3Zitat von Andy Griffiths im Beitrag #2 Wouldn't plugging them prevent that? I've been tempted to get some stainless bolts to thread in (with anti seize) to prevent corrosion.

Zitat von Gothrick im Beitrag #6 Do you have a link to the bolts or at least have the size?

I plugged mine long ago to keep them clean.
Carpe Diem!

Black plastic number plate bolts work well too. |

I just bought 3 stainless steel M6-1.0 x 10 mm bolts, squirted ACF 50 into the bee micro-motels and closed them up. I'll order an eco-friendly bee shelter from Amazon and plant flowers to make it up to the bees. I don't use insecticides on my property so I may already have some creds with them. |
