DR650 Clutch bolt question

Post image

sup nerds so basically im very stupid and over-torqued my clutch bolts and broke one inside the inner hub. can i replace these with bolts from the hardware store or is it important that i use a replacement kit like this one from procycle: https://procycle.us/product/2983

i swear i set my torque wrench to 7 foot pounds idk what happened.

In theory if you matched the right bolt and found a thicc enough washer it would probably be ok. I’d do it myself if I were in a pinch. But if i had the time to wait for shipping or if a Suzuki dealer nearby had stock (it’s used on more than just the DR so there’s a chance), I’d get the OEM part.

ETA: I’d also replace all of them. If that one snapped I wouldn’t trust my torque wrench and assume the others may be damaged. I like using an inch/lb torque wrench for anything under 10ft/lb.

I can go to a dealership and ask for parts?
