I was riding today and I went to downshift.... there was no lever there lol..

So I am wondering if anyone knows what sort of bolt/washers go here:

 

there about 10 bucks from honda and also ya need 2 orings also mine has did the same thing once sucked.

 

When you find the right bolt, use threadlocker when you put it in. Mine was starting to get loose - good thing I saw it before it became a problem.

 

Thanks for the replys... but this isnt like a bolt / washer I can get from the local bolt store?

 

It's a shoulder bolt. Shoulder bolts have a defined length near the head which is not threaded so it can be used as a pivot like in the shifter linkage for motorcycles. The bolt sometimes has a groove in the unthreaded part to hold grease. As mentioned, there are rubber o-rings at both ends of the pivot. You will still need to correctly tighten the bolt because if it is loose, it will come off while you are riding and when too tight, the linkage will not operate as smoothly.

I don't know if the bolt shown in your picture is an original because the one on my '94 is a hex bolt that has a round head that installs flush with the linkage pivot.

 

No it's not original, It's the replacement I had to use to get me home I found it at berts mega mall out here for 12.99 but comes in on tuesday oh well.

Thanks for all the help

 

+1. Had the same issue while riding in Duluth, think Sna Fransisco hills. Thankfully the bolt was still in the shifter lever, dragging on the ground. I hand tightened it, drove to the parts store n used their wrench on it. then took it apart and used locktite to ensure this never happened again.
