Quick Fasteners, Plastic Rivets ?

[XLR8]

After 3 years it seems I've lost some. Is there a good source for these things? Any chance of finding them at Shucks or Autozone?

I've heard some folks say you can find them at NAPA, but no such luck here. I bought a few spares at the local Yamahondasakizuki/KTM shop, but they're awfully proud of them at over a buck apiece.

I have seen some bikes with the "speed fasteners" I guess they are called. No tools to remove them...will these work for our bikes?

You can find the part numbers on the Yamaha factory website -

? EA 90269-06001-00 RIVET

? EA 90269-06081-00 RIVET

5JW-13440-00-00 ELEMENT ASSY, OIL CLEANER (oil filter)

5JW-14451-00-00 ELEMENT, AIR CLEANER (air filter)

214-11198-01-00 GASKET (crush washers)

and so on.

I've found it convenient to order 10 or 20 of each type of the fasteners - there's the 'push' to release, and the fancy 'phillips head' style. I couldn't tell you which is which in the above part numbers. So order both.

And he has great prices on maintenance items - oil and air filters, etc.

You send him an email with what you want -

he'll reply with a price quote - and a phone number. Just call him up and give him your CC number, and he'll keep that on file, so future orders can be done via a simple email.
