Title: Screws that hold muffler on
Post by: Mharriss on August 10, 2023, 02:15:28 PM

Can anyone help?
I had my kymco Like 200i serviced and tire change yesterday.  When I got home I noticed the three bolts that hold the muffler to the frame were missing.  The muffler was just hanging on and they forgot to replace the three bolts.  Anyone know what size bolts it would take and if they are metric or have to be ordered from Kymco.  What would you York the bolts at?
Thanks so much!

@Mharriss welcome here!
Kymco uses there M8 normal thread though higher steel quality 8.8 up and 12 mm heads.
-for a in between repair take M8 x 60/50 mm with an13mm head and a washer, available in your hardware store. Use blocker fluid.
-for a final repair see your  service shop or go to acar mechanic who repairs japanese cars and ask for such bolts.

Wow!
Considering how heavy the LIKE exhaust is - those missing bolts put one heck of a strain on those 2 little front studs!
Glad you made it home!
And welcome to the forum!
Pictures and info about your LIKE200I always appreciated 🙂

 Thanks Ruffus/Stig!  The dealership decided to pick up the bike and pull the bolts off a new Like for my bike so I would not have to wait for the order over seas.  I appreciate your support and comments.
