[QUOTE="RzrBak, post: 1233030, member: 86804"] I bought a motorcycle/ATV lift from Harbor Freight this weekend. They had a Memorial Day sale going and the lift was originally $150 but on sale for $80. With the 20% coupon, I walked out the door with it for $64. Not bad considering I was laying on the floor and was using the center stand and a floor jack. I wasn't going to service the center stand until I finished the pivot points etc. but quickly realized that in order to get the Relay Arm out, I'd have to take out the center stand because of the bolt issue. Wish I'd seen this post earlier... The issue I have now is that one of the center stand bolts stripped (probably from previous owner or shop). Unfortunately I stripped it more and there's just no room to get any vise grips on it. The 3 other bolts were difficult to get loose and made a snapping noise when they finally moved. I'm going to replace all the bolts just to be safe. Does anyone know if they have to be Yamaha specific bolts or can I pick some up at an auto parts store of for that matter Home Depot/Lowes?
