1200 Rs Rectifier Bolts

Hi all,

I bought some standard bits from Evotech and everything was going fine until I tried to fit the rectifier cover. The pictures on the instruction sheet show standard bolts rather than the M8 hex bolts that the bike actually has but that’s a minor point. My issue is that no matter how long I undo them for, they never seem to actually come out. Has anyone else experienced this or have any tips for a complete imbecile like me?

 

I hope not as there is a piece of plastic covering it from under the seat which isn’t removable. That was my thought but if they have sealed in the nuts then it seems a little silly.

 

Thanks Stue007, that's perfect and exactly what I had to do. Looks like there isn't a plastic nut shaped retainer on the back side which would really have helped. My 10 year old daughter came to the rescue and held the bolts in place while i finger tightened the nuts. Additional word of warning to anyone else doing this, the nuts are so small and fiddly that they are easy to drop and lose under the battery so that's another job for another day.
