125-200cc check ya subframe bolts!

was doing a bit of a check over/air filter change out on 165 yesterday & noticed one of the top subframe-to-main frame backbone bolts completely missing! left hand side was still tight but loctited it anyway. bit of an out of sight out of mind bolt as you cant really see them that well behind sidepanels & airbox. not sure how long its been missing(subframe still fairly rigid with just 1 bolt in but noticeable with seat off if you move rear fender). anyhow just a heads up ladies & gents. bike has over 60 hours, kinda odd for one to come loose now but no harm no foul. had a spare bolt so ready to go again

lost another one! dunno when but same side. WTF?! anyway bunged another in there & loctited the bejeebuz outta both bolts!

That is odd it would come out again. does the whole feel sloppy or anything. Maybe add a lock washer into the mix.

nah thread all good. didn't have a big enough spring washer or I would have. heap of blue Loctite should keep the bastard in place!

Humm check ya nuts are tight too shawry!

missus checked em last night mate didn't say anything bout em being tight though?!

She might have checked them doesn't mean they got serviced

rest assured OMG they were thoroughly serviced yesterday-god bless sunday mornings! unfortunately no helmet cam footage to upload!

Never mind shawry you will manage how too work all this technology one day.
