Cylinder Head Cover Bolts

Please tell me, is there anything special about bolt #12, and washer #13, in this cylinder head cover diagram?

The bagged and tagged motor that I brought is missing 3 of the 4 required for reassembly.

They are over $8 each at a Yamaha dealer here in Edmonton, and not available through 650 direct.

I might go to a local hardware store with a good selection of metric hardware and see if they have ones that fit.
I get most of my bolts that way.
If you have the part number the bolt size is part of the number. I just can't recall how to at the moment.

No, nothing special about them. I usually swap the washers out for stainless ones.

I did stop in Home Depot, and the bolts matched up to an M 8, 60 mm long, they were only $1 something.
Looks like that's the way I will go.
Thanks for the info!

Ok, your bolt size triggered my memory.
I looked up that bolts part #. it's 9701308060. Count the digits left to right. #6 and 7 is the bolt diameter. 8,9 and 10 are the length. In this number the 08 is the 8mm diameter, the 060 is the 60 mm length.
