one day i was out ridin and i was sittin there talkin leanin on the grab bar and it would shake real bad, so i take the plastic off and im missin a subframe bolt, so couple days later im out ridin again and i here somethin rattlin real bad down by mt foot, look down one of the case saver bolts are missin, and then later that day im climbin hills out the local riding spot and all of a sudden my skid plate is thumbin real loud, i flip the bike up im missin to of the swing skid bolts... so today i was up the garage and took the 400 out for a lil spin down the road and come back i look down, the singarm pivot bolt is stickin out, i lost the freakin nut for that..... im bout ready to sell and getin somethin else ahhh i duno wht to do

Just go through it and tighten everything up... use the torque specs if you can on the important stuff. You must be really riding that thing! :macho

No matter what quad, bike or car you have they all need maintance. Remember that putting gas in it is not the only thing you have to do to your quad..

For every 3 hours of ride time you should spend 1 hour in the garage going over it if you want it to stay in one peice..:)
