« on: April 18, 2009, 02:11:40 PM »
im goin over to my roller derby queens house to do a little more work on her bike- replace the oil pump o rings, and install the little plastic cam that trips the neutral indicator light. she got that bit, and i remember theres no bolt in the hole. not being real familiar w/ metric stuff, does anyone know offhand what size that bolt is, so i can get one ahead of time? Thx.....

Described as Screw Pan 6 x 20 so it should be standard 6mm thread and pitch. WARNING Do not overtighten as you will break the "PIP" of the back of the plastic cam that fits into the selector drum to give correct possition
