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

 (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.

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

Re: SV Vibrations?
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

Re: SV Vibrations?
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!
