heffergm Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Had the bike up on the stand, lubing the chain. Kept hearing a very faint 'click' with every wheel rotation, and started poking around... what could it be? Made my way over to the rear brake disc, and found I could turn all four bolts by hand. Being a devout atheist (irony intended) I'm not sure whom to thank for the miracle of the bolts not backing out into the swingarm, but in any event I'm glad to have caught it. Re-tightened with loctite applied! Edited April 29, 2016 by heffergm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffergm Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm not really up for drilling the heads on these particular bolts. Too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki250 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) It’s always worth going over the whole bike with a spanner as part of your regular maintenance. All the nuts and bolts have a tendency to work lose, especially on a two stroke! Edited April 29, 2016 by suzuki250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Blue Loctite. I`ve seen three gasser`s with broken hubs at one event before. Same with sprocket bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
