so far for me the only one I've had work loose that I know of is the main bolt on the clutch lever. Just about worked its way completely out before I noticed it.

whats everyone else been finding loose? any common ones

the four bolts that clamp down on the swingarm carrier on my 06 kind of wiggled them selfs free. i was surprised that they did that.

lower subframe bolts, one of mine fell out. I have also heard about top ones breaking so I got stronger ones just in case:D

my tie rods come loose all the time. i check almost every bolt before races. only takes me 20 minutes if you have the tools set out ready to go.

I've almost lost the clutch lever bolt a few times too, it came without a locknut on the bottom?

I've lost the front fender bolts and gas tank bolts after not tightenting them enough when reinstalling them.

Axle nuts anyone?

anything and everything comes loose, just check over all the important ones before u ride, arms, shocks, tie rods, stem, motor mounts, frame/subframe, swingarm, linkage
