This is a genuine Shimano replacement clamp bolt for the XTR SL-M980 shifter. It measures M5 x 13.5mm and is used to attach the shifter to your handlebar.
No, this clamp bolt is specifically designed for the Shimano XTR SL-M980 model only. Using it on other shifters may cause damage or improper function.
Typically, a 4mm or 5mm Allen key is required to install or remove this type of clamp bolt. Refer to your shifter's specific manual if unsure.
Tighten the bolt securely to prevent the shifter from moving, but avoid overtightening, which can damage the shifter body or strip the threads. If possible, use a torque wrench set to Shimano's recommended specification for the SL-M980 shifter.
It is highly recommended to use the genuine Shimano M5 x 13.5mm bolt. Generic bolts may have incorrect dimensions or material strength, leading to poor fit, unreliable performance, or damage to your shifter.
Torque specifications are usually found in the official Shimano service manual for the XTR SL-M980 shifter, which can often be downloaded from the Shimano website.
Ensure the clamp bolt is tightened sufficiently. Re-check the bolt's seating and try tightening further, being careful not to strip the threads. Confirm you are using the correct M5 x 13.5mm bolt.
Verify that the bolt is aligned properly with the threaded insert in the shifter body. Do not force the bolt; if it resists, back it out and try again. Ensure no debris is obstructing the threads.
This is likely unrelated to the clamp bolt itself unless the shifter was significantly moved during installation. Ensure the shift cable is correctly routed and tensioned according to Shimano's service instructions for the XTR SL-M980.
Compatibility: This clamp bolt is specifically designed for the Shimano XTR SL-M980 shifter model. Ensure you have this specific shifter before attempting installation.
