This site is a result of the investigations I have done while restoring a number of LC's. I originally collected the information on this site for my own use but due to all the help and assistance I have had from so many fellow LC enthusiasts I decided I would make it accessible to anyone attempting to restore there bike to original condition.

While I have made every effort to find a definitive answer to the long running question "what is standard" I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing. You should remember that when originally built they were built to a price and not a standard hence suppliers would change along with the finish of the parts they supplied to Yamaha during the bikes production run.

Listing of all nuts and bolts used on the 250 and 350 LC. This Excel spreadsheet gives you a list of all the bolts and there thread size, you can then use to order a full set of replacements. The only thing you need to do is decide on the head type you require.
Some tips and tricks I have found useful during the restorations I have completed.

1 Try and get hold of die nuts and taps, these will be useful for cleaning threads but not actually re-cutting the thread.

2 Always use a lubricant when using a tap or die nut, you can clean up after.

3 When finally assembling the bike always use "Copper Slip" on the threads, except when you use a thread lock fluid.

4 Never presume a thread size just by looking, Yamaha use 10 x 1.25, 10 x1.5, 8 x 1.25 and 8 x 1.0 thread sizes.

5 I found it useful to have a known selection of nuts and bolts with there size labelled on them to use as a method of establishing a thread size.

6 Just because a thread has stripped doesn't mean its beyond repair, you can always try using a helicoil to save the part.

7 Torque settings for all the bolts.
