Battery door only has one bolt?
? Do you mean the fairing cover?
? The battery 'door' has four bolts and is a stressed member of the frame. The fairing cover over the battery 'door' only has one bolt and is just a piece of cosmetic plastic. I though we were talking about the aluminum, four- bolt containing battery 'door' (maybe batter access hatch is a better word). ??
If we are talking about that one bolt that holds the fairing cover in place.... by all means, clean up the hole and forge ahead. You OF COURSE do not have to clean inside the frame if it is the fairing cover bolt because that thing threads into the battery 'door' or hatch. The fairing cover is also not structural at all, whatsoever so who cares if the threads are a little.... off.
Let’s see- battery door or battery door fairing cover, either way it includes the word ‘battery’. As the battery is electrical, it is part of the electrical system. Going through the electrical system leads one into the ECU and guess what the ECU is attached to? Yep, the <k-word>! I knew it, this is a <k-word> problem and it only has three degrees of separation.
So which one are we talking about, the aluminum battery hatch or door with four bolts or the fairing cover, which is made out of plastic and only has one bolt (and is red in your case)?
