Default Reminder to Check Bike after Long Trip...

Just a friendly reminder.. I don't always, but was changing the Hydraulic Clutch fluid (pretty cloudy) and decided to check things over.
(great little video)

I found three of the six subframe bolts loose. Back end getting loose is not a good thing.

One of the four saddlebag bolts was sitting in the bottom of the bag.
One muffler nut was loose..
Ready for the next one !
