couple years ago me and a friend of mine was riding along and I heard something fall off the bike....something metallic.....i was like hmmmm...wasn't sure if it was something I ran over or what...we were on the interstate. well I pulled off to the side and started looking and sure enough....found a missing caliper mounting bolt on the front left.
my heart stopped for a sec....
a dealer was just down the road and limped it in. they were closing but one of the wrenches came out with a new bolt and checked all the bolts to the calipers and sent me on my way......no charge!
gave him a nice lil tip and headed straight home and got the service manual and torgue wrench out....lol
then yesterday notice a loose nut on the fork cap for the axle was loose
well guess what I did again yesterday.....
