    ok so after some damage was taken to my Sinnis Apache 2015, I need to replace a single screw;

    The screw lives on the handlebars, right hand side where the plastic square shaped mount is situated for the electric start button & killl switch, the screw hole faces downwards to the ground on the underside of this component and Is about 1cm wide if not a little larger and its a fairly deep hole at 5cm or so, this screw is missing from here and i am unsure as to what screw size goes in the hole!

    Now I've just had a look online at CMPO.com and I believe this is the exact screw I need! anyone know for sure?

    thanks

    There must be a second screw there. It might not be the same length, but widths should be equal, i.e. M6 most probably.

    Just an update here guys that this issue had been fixed!
    Dropped it into a garage as I'd exhausted all ideas I had, mechanic said its usually a small chubby plastic "Cap" that goes in the hole under electric start mount, he had to drill through handlebar with small drillbit and then secure mount on with a small screw, probably just means I may have further issues down the line when I change over to renthal handlebar in new year!

    Thanks for help everyone
