Things are missing this week.
My Oxtar boots are missing a toe slider bolt, my bike is issing a bolt on the chain guard - which is BEHIND the pegs. How the HELL does a bold fall off from behind where the pegs are? This is friggin infuriating... I don't know crap about bikes, but this makes me scared!
Vibration Vibration Vibration
blue locktite is your friend
or
I safety wire the shaZam! out of my bikes
I almost had a caliper fall off about 12 yrs agoon my first bike(RZ350)....my street YSR50 is even safety wired
when i got my RS50 the front axle was....less than finger tight....yup wired the forks on that also
Now's the time to learn. Time to start checking all your bolts and tightening! :thumb: Vibration is a pain (my shifter fell off on my NEW bike once....I figure it vibrated off...boy did I start checking stuff after that!!!)
My chain guard fell off last year while I was out riding. After checking out things closer I've found lots of missing bolts. It's a little freaky. I try to double check everything when I change the oil now.

Yeah... My bike is missing a bolt too... But, it's 'cause I broke it. :oops:
Get a torque wrench... Grab your manual... Start at the beginning and work your way to the end.
I've lost a bunch of bolts here and there. To name a few: exhaust header bolt, muffler hanger bolt, fairing bracket bolt, a bolt that goes into the hooked piece of metal that helps hold the toolkit down, a few others.
I feel your pain.

My sister's S40 is slowly ripping the license plate in half... It's about half-way through the plate... And it only has about 2500 miles on it. :o
