SV Vibrations?
 
Since getting on the bike this year, so far I've had; a gear linkage rod drop off, both pegs vibrate out and now the left hanger popped off today (first I knew about it was only being able to find 3rd on approach to a roundy). Anyone else have stuff randomly drop off? Luckily (and very uncharacteristically)I had a selection of useful spanners and allenkey bits under my seat, which was a nice surprise as I was contemplating just nursing it home in the gears I could find but stopped up got it fixed and ploughed on :smt029

Well I've done that now :rolleyes: (I know I know I shoulda done it the first time), and hopefully it'll fix it. Was just wondering if I can expect to randomly loose bits and bobs again in the near future.

I've lost bits off before but always through my own stupidity. Nearly put the machined ally footpeg off rearsets through jamessunhills radiator!

Maybe...i guess go round and have a good check. The only thing I tend to notice getting loose is the gear lever thing, where the lever clamps onto the gear-shaft, but it never gets loose loose, just...a bit loose

Making reasonable progress up in yorkshire dales, went to tap it down a gear... Oops why's the floor there... oh yeah, no footpeg. Bolt had backed out of the footpeg and allowed it to go for a trip down the road. It's OK though, we found it!
