Hi, managed to lose the bolt with bearing thingy that holds the gear lever on
Its the one that goes through the hole in bottom left:

What do i replace it with? Temporarily have a bolt and washers but it keeps working itself loose.
thanks

Hi

It will likely be a shouldered bolt, so it can be tightened up without clamping the lever itself.

Best to just order a new one from Yamaha.

As a short term bodge you might be able to get away with a bolt with a large penny washer (to stop the lever coming off) and a load of small washers inside the lever (to space the penny washer away from the lever and provide something for the lever to pivot on).

All the best
