Tighten frame section bolts

[frankd]

A couple of weeks ago, Dingy posted some great 1st. Gen service bulletins. One of the items concerned the bolts that join the right lower section to the main frame. This is the section that you remove to pull the motor. While I was working on the 89 yesterday, I thught of this proceedure and decided to make sure mine were tight. I pulled the right footpeg bracket, and tightend the bolts.....mine were about 1/4-1/3 turn loose. I also checked the forward bolts, and 1 of them was a little loose. BTW, Yammie suggested that they'd be checked every time the bike was in for service. I didn't think the bolts were so loose that they'd cause a problem, but today I noticed that the bike seems to turn a bit better.

 

Thanks Gary!!

Here you go....The one I'm talking about is the one about exhaust clamps and frame bolts, but they are all interesting reading!!!

Sorry about that. I tried the other one right after I posted it, and yep...it didn't work. That's exactly when Barb put supper on the table, so I quickly tried to delete the message. It looks like I did something wrong though.
