Check Those Motor Mounts!
Yesterday I took my bike in for a new rear tire. The tech took my bike out for a test ride and when he came back asked me if the bike felt ok. I replied that it did. He then pointed out the two bolts that secure the motor mounts to the engine (on top of the engine). One had about a quarter inch of threads showing and the other was loose enough where the washer was vibrating.

Could you guys elaborate a little more on the exact location of these, and how I could access them. Pics would really help! I'm not very knowledgeable about bike mechanicals.
Thanks.

RE: Check Those Motor Mounts!
Check everything..........I go over my bike every 3-4th ride with a tool set and tight'en things down. You'll be surprised what giggles loose and at 60+ MPH is not the time to look down and see that "something" fell off.

Thanks for the tip. I've been working on mine last 2 days and never gave the mounts a glance but will now that you reminded me. Thanks again.
