"The shootout dominating KTM 450 XC and 525 XC models return for 2009 with several updates.

* Thumb throttle turned forward 10°for improved ergonomics.
* New plastic bolts in order to economize aluminumbushings.
* Redesigned seat cover for optimal comfort and feel.


What do they mean by plastic bolts??? Where are these plastic bolts?? I'm assuming they're for holding the fenders on or something???

maybe something to do with the gas tank bolts. i know im having problems with that little fitting in the gas tank just spinning. hopefully they changed something to do with that

I'm having the same issues as I tried to remove the front shrouds and one side is free spinning.

I called my dealer about it and he's supposed to be contacting KTM about a warranty claim for me.
