Let me see, so far, all seat bolts, all exhaust bolts, handlebar switch screws, belt guard bolts, riser clamps, riser bolts, front footpeg bolts, sidecover screws, rear fender rail bolts, license plate bracket bolts, rectifier bolts, clutch and brake clamps at handlebar, chrome engine cover bolts, Definately the front belt pulley nut, and now I can't break the rear footpeg bolts loose. I will have to wait until the back tire is off and use a allen head socket on a BIG ratchet. Don't the Japs know what a lock washer or nyloc-nut is???I would love to take the guy who invented loc-tite and give him a big supository of it and then take him to Sluggos Table and get him a double order of Alices Killer Chili. Following into the can would be the best part. After listening to him straining for a while I would just say" Kind of a pain in the a$$ getting out, aint it??"
Aw come on there big guy. It ain't that bad and there ain't locktite on all them bolts.
Some of those bolts just got the old "steel bolt stuck in the aluminum thingie" torque quality...
Try the old "shade tree" of a good smack on the head.
Besides, you wouldn't want the old Harley trick of "steel bolt and aluminum thingie" fall off in the road, would you?
