Default 2002 RK Clutch Release Cover Bolt Backs Out

I have a 2002 RK. 1 bolt on the clutch release cover has been backing itself out. I re-tighten and it gets loose. So the last time I used a little blue locktite on it. Went out and rode and it completely backed out and is now lost. What would cause this bolt to back itself out?

Vibration could cause it. The fix is blue loctite and a new bolt

Check to see if the trap door bolts are loose.
