Vibey buggers these V Twins.

So far:
Lost 2 allen screws frae right side water tank cover today, wiz flappin by time a got hame.

A couple o months ago, one bolt lost and the other almost undone frae the whole nose fairing head lamp assembly mount. Wiz wonderin why it looked squint!!!

Lost allen screw frae heat shield beside shock on exhaust pipe.

Foam rubber strip aff the wee side panel on right ( but saw it blaw aff and went back an picked it up)

Allen screwbolt oot the hugger mount.


Ah widnae mind if ah didnae check these things but ah regularly go roond wi an allen key and nip evry thing up. Guess need tae Loctite every bloody thing!!! These things shed screws like a dug casting its coat !!!
 
Only an Allen bolt off the heat shield by the shock for me. Makes me think I should get the threadlock out though.
 
Glued my rubber strip on so it wouldnae keep flappin


Pillion seat cover bolt thingy came loose but I didn't lose it thank gawd
 
Foam rubber strip RH side panel - used double sided tape never moved again.

LH plastic cover allen bolt above oil fill plug.

bottom lug of frame started has started to go through lower RH belly pan. Caught it in time with a pad.

RH upper radiator hose catching plastic upper trim and forming a cut in the outer hose sleeve.
 
I'm not aware of owt falling off mine but I've never checked it as only had it 6 months. I'll have to check over it now on the weekend now you've mentioned this.
 
A tank bolt rear of headstock, found 1 loose @3000 miles old, seems to drip oil out of a breather pipe(?) from 1st service, clocks mist up weather dependant, but wouldn't swop it (OK maybe a V4 Tuono or new Sp III poss... :eek: )
 
Lost one bolt from the hugger and the other 3 were working loose when it

The little rubber strip on the rhs panel

Nothing else so far that I know of
 
Nowt. She's been tighter than a nun's **** at Lent. As with Nob, the only thing falling off her is me. My fault for trying to get a little more corner speed on cold tires exiting turn one.
 
Me grabbing a big handfull of brake at 100mph, big time stoppie and tuck the front.....bang on the floor watching the T slide up the road on her side:(
 
Nothing fell off mine so far. I had a brake reservoir sock that flew off while going a little faster than usual...:p
