Re: Missing bolt on new sv

I take it the bike hasn't been back for its first service yet?
How many miles have you done on it?

Have to agree with you there.

No scuffing on the face does look a little iffy.

Done 2000 miles so far, went back for 1st service 3 weeks after got the bike. Easy to see how it was missed, i've washed the bike lots of times and been in with the acf50 etc and I never saw it resting on the radiator, will have to look tomorrow when i put the fairing lowers back on, but suspect you cant see the horn when they are on.

Have been told on the QT that this is not unknown problem with a dealer having expierenced 3 bikes with loose bolts or bracket off

Re: Missing bolt on new sv

PDI is not always carried out as you would hope.I had a new Sprinter that had a trackrod end jump off at 300 miles and do £3500 worth of damage.I got a new van from Mercedes but my wallet did the walking after that.
