Are Panel retention bolts right color?

[FJR30FAN]

Recently bought a 2019 A in graphite its the dark gray. Panels A and B are missing the hex retention bolts and I assume the bolts must be black to match the panels but new ones from partshark came in silver. They dont look right. I spoke with partshark and they say thats what yamaha provides. All other panels have bolts in black. I checked another vendor and they sell the same bolt part number. I could not find a specific part number for a black bolt. Anyone knows if they are supposed to be black? It seems to me they would be. Part number is 90109-06037-00 in the diagram.

If you want black, just go to the hardware store and pay maybe 15% what a Yamaha bolt costs.

Might come to that

As they say... Been there, done that. Push them into a piece of cardboard to protect the threads, give them a shot of brake cleaner, paint and let sit in the sun for a couple of hours for best results.

That's what I do.

Just don't get much in the hex socket or your wrench won't fit!

Yeah was thinking a little wax in the hole will do

Or clean most of it out with a toothpick before it dries... ANY wax on the screw head will prevent the paint from adhering.

Or just put the proper size hex key in it, spray, remove.

And be left with a black screw head with a silver dot in the middle? No thanks. I say just send them back and order the correct ones. Or just keep them, whatever.
