    Anyone notice...2009 plastic bolts???

    "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???
    God must love stupid people; He made so many.

    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.
