08 Xbonz handelbar issues HELP
I am soooo frustrated with my stealership. I have had my bike in to have the bars tightened, replace the riser bolts and the risers. The damn handelbars still loosen. Now, its happening again. When I talk with them, they treat me like I'm the only one who has had these issues???? You gotta be kiddin me, I know I've read some fixes, but I think the dealership should take care of this. It's still under warranty, but I want them to do something different. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.....

I have the same problem...I tightened and they still come loose...I did notice a couple of points tho...I replaced my seat *badlander* and noticed that I sat lower..this made me pull the bars towards me when hitting bumps the bars would pull back...I then put my stock seat back on and no more problems..so far that is...but when I brought the bike home the dealer when new they did not have the bars tightened all the way and that was a interesting ride home..I have spoken to a couple of guys with the same bike and it is a yes/no on the bars that loosen... I was told to cut a strip of allum. from a soda can and put in the risers and tighten them. supposed to help grip and shouldn't have no more problems with them coming loose again....have not done this yet..
