Overlooked Maintenance Items
« on: February 27, 2007, 06:55:57 PM »
Removed the exhaust system today in preparation for some major work, and came across a few items that need to be addressed on occasion. I found the countersunk bolt that holds the sidestand on , loose 2 threads, also the centerstand bolts were loose as well.

Yes, check those bolts at least once a year.

I lost a centerstand nut on the right-hand side, and I didn't find out until I went to put the bike up on the stand.  It almost fell AWAY from me as the stand colapsed under the frame!

Beware!
