Check torque on those rotor bolts also!

    Putting air in the tires today and the air hose happened to hit the rear rotor. Made a ting sound which alerted me to check rotor bolts again. Not even 2K miles yet and 2 of the 4 bolts were loose enough to allow the rotor to resonate against the hub and a third bolt was not properly torqued.

    It's not just the sprocket bolts check and double check all fasteners frequently. This has now convinced me to be the first bike ever I will use the paint mark indexing system on.

    Keep in mind that the torque setting on the rotors is far, far lighter than sprockets! You can easily rip the threads in the hub. Use locktite and don't over-tighten them...they go into cast aluminum.

    Locktite is our best friend...
