You will find here the washers most used for Japanese motorcycles. There are three types:
- The flat washer with standard head that may be found in most shops anywhere.
- The flat washer with a smaller head to accommodate small head bolts.
- The spring washer used with a flat washer to lock a bolt in place.
Naturally Japanese bikes use JIS washers, not the ISO sizes sold at your local hardware store!
