Broken Subframe Bolts

[BSTURDIVANT]

Be sure to check your top subframe bolts- we have seen 5 broken bolts -2 were on the same bike at the same time! culd have been a serious problem if not caught in time!!

Was doing a search to see how big of an issue this is. I lost one bolt and snapped the other. Needless to say, the carb then pulled loose from the engine when the subframe hinged downward on the two lower subframe bolts.

So, I got new bolts installed about 4 months ago. I bought a set of spares. A guy was riding at BPG and broke his so I gave him my spare set. I bought another set. Noticed that one of mine is broken again.
