Title: Loose screw
Post by: regaliz2 on July 25, 2005, 12:10:51 PM

Hello everybody,

I have found a screw in the admision of cylinder number 2 that was nearly out, I spent a lot of time tightening it. The maintenance manual of the bandit 600 (I have one bandit 600 by the way :) recommends to tighten a lot of screws but I am a bit lazy, have anyone experiences similar with screws that tend to loose and that need more surveillance?

Thanks

Due to vibration from the engine and the road, a few fasterners are bound to come loose.  Every few rides I do a full once over on the bike.  I check tires, chain, some electricals, and keep a screw driver and a few wrenches handy to tighten things up.
