Bolts working loose due to vibrations
Specifically the one holding on my left foot peg. Is this due to is not being on tight enough (I've tried tightening it a few times) or is there something I can do to stop it working loose? At the minute it needs re tighening every few hundred miles.

Re: Bolts working loose due to vibrations
You could stick some threadlock on it. I've managed to lose one of my right footpeg bolts

Re: Bolts working loose due to vibrations
+1 - those bolts are thread locked in when bike is originally assembled - or mine were anyway.
