well here we go... when i bought this 450r this spring, my local honda shop said, "well throw in a first service for free" (change oil, check valves, change plug, ect...) i change my oil after every race anyway so i figured that it woldnt be a bad idea. so i took it in for its first service and didnt get it back for two weeks, yes two weeks. (this shop had 1 quad in the garage and said they werent expecting any more for a couple of days) i go to a race, come home, and wash it like i always do. so i go to change my oil, everythings up to par. after i wash it i check all the nuts and bolts i can see, so i start on top. handle bars, levers, throttle... all fine. i get to my gas tank, you know where the front fenders bolt on to it, and these were loose. so i go to tighten them up and they just turn and turn. so, with the top bolts being stripped out, i checked all of the other front fender bolts. all the same, stripped. i know its no big deal that my fenders wont come off, but if this guy was in my engine and did stuff like this... :eek2: sorry for the long post, but what would you guys do?
