Buying a 1986 Suzuki LS650, only thing is that it has some missing bolts. help please!?

Question

Can you ride it with a few missing bolts? how much do they cost? im payin 800 for it, everything else is fine though. any information on the bike itself, cost of bolts and acceleration would be great help, thanks alot for all the replies i get :)

Answer 1

What is a LS650? Sure it's not a GS650? Which Bolts are Missing? Some are WAY more important than others.

Answer 2

replace the bolts before riding, bring it to a hardware store, it wont cost much at all. after all you dont want the bike to fall apart on you when your cruisin down the highway

Answer 3

For the above responder, an LS650 is a Suzuki Savage (what's now called a Suzuki Boulevard S40).

You can probably find an online parts list for your bike, and order the parts online -- or go to a Suzuki dealer/service place and have the guy behind the counter look in his microfiche collection.  Probably run you $3-$5 each (what a rip).

As the others said, whether you can ride it that way depends on which bolts are missing.  The bolts that hold the "secret compartment" onto my (Yamaha Virago) motorcycle were stolen.  No biggie.  The "secret compartment" isn't essential equipment, so I ride around without it.

Answer 4

Which bolts? Front axle? Or a fender or a tail light. It does matter. Can't you find someting a little newer? How about 10 years old instead of 20?
