Did about 1300 miles the last two weeks, our weather has been really supportive of my riding lately. The bike needed a wash and I did a pretty thorough job. Given the bike the once over I found a missing bolt on the front fender guard. Will replace the missing one and locktite all of them. The bolt has that flange, and then shoulder underneath the flange, so I'll be ordering the OEM part and getting a few. And then I found that the bolt that holds that little box under the rear fender was loose. Looking a bit further, the captive nut behind the bolt had actually slipped off the little plastic slot. I put it back on and snugged it up. In theory, it might a bit of strength to the rear fender, I recommend checking it, and the one in front of it too. It's the shiny one right in the middle of this picture...
Thanks for the heads up! I'm picking up my new Terra on Wens and I will probably locktite every nut & bolt on all body panels ect. Any other problem fasteners to look out for?
I checked 90% of the bolts for tightness, the one under the seat was not one of them. Thanks for the heads up.
