Title: Loose Bolts
Post by rl153 on 05/29/12 at 13:47:13

Recently ,someone here was asking about backfiring ,and Serowbot said check your exhaust bolts. I checked mine and they were loose . Which other bolts specifically are most likely to loosen up under normal riding conditions. Thanks.

It just seems ,some are more likely to loosen than others.

rl,.. mostly just those two... and less often, the nuts that attach to head studs under the exhaust pipe, and intake manifold.... (They will weep a bit if they come loose)..

rl153, what do you call normal riding conditions? ;D

Actually ,I just mean riding about an hour five or six days a week . But that is probably less than normal. I also meant as far as tightening the bolts go, ones you can get at fairly easily. I'm not that mechanically adept.

Only one way to know, tighten them all up on a weekly basis.
the ones that stay tight, don't bother with. :-?
