According to the info I've got the front brake rotor bolts for a 2010 VFR1200 measure 6x17.

And the rear brake rotor bolts for a 2010 VFR1200 appear to be special shouldered style bolts that measure 8X20.

While you're at it, Taffy, get herself some copper grease as well for most of the bolts of the lower fairing don't like 'our' weather and sorry to say, some bolts/threaded clips on the top of the fairing don't either!

Tastynuts indeed! Don't have the cash right now but will be replacing all when I do.

Guess I'm gonna have to order two new ABS rings once the bike turns 3 years old next year. Don't have a clue on how to get that rust off and stay off within a reasonable budget.

 

i know what you mean about the abs ring i,m going to take mine off and spray paint with wurths engine paint its really good stuff and its cheap

 

If you end up changing out fasteners in other areas that have high heat issues (like the exhaust sysem) make sure you use a nickel based anti-sieze. I am among those who did not realize that copper based anti-sieze will dry out and CAUSE bolts to sieze in exhaust systems. I had to special order it, but now I have a jar of copper and nickel anti-sieze in my "arsenal".

You know guys, our weather on the west coast of Canada is pretty much the sme as yours. Wet....very wet. And occassional snow. A lot of salt brine on the roads. They used to use rock salt. But that washed away with the first rain. Now, I have had my 6th gen since new in August 06. And corrosion has not been a problem. I ride year round, 160 km round trip every day, to and from work on the freeway mostly. At least until this spring when I retired. I now have 160,000 km on my bike and there have been no issues. The best thing you can do to fight any corrosion on your bikes, is to ride it on the freeways in the rain. At these speeds, any salt or brine will be washed off by clean water.

 

Stainless bolt's installed anywhere will seize up without lube.. Always use lube and a whole bunch more lube and then put more lube.......
