Check front brake caliper bolts
My front caliper mount bolts were just about 1/2 turn beyond finger tight. No lock-tite either. Grab a socket, pull em out, add locking agent and retighten. I forget what tq I used now but as delivered they would probably vibrate out in short order.
Don't chance these coming loose! |

Good tip. Those are pretty key.

They don't charge me one. Near 20 year relationship, +40 bikes. I doubt they list the brake caliper bolts on a Kawi check list anyway and Kawi installed it without lock-tite anyway.

Yeah, maybe? It still won't make the 16 year old kid they hired for minimum wage remember it every time.
 Even if they are tight, they should be lock-tited too, maybe they forgot it on my bike or they don't use it, (my bet). Hopefully mine was an exception cause I know every rider won't see these threads. |
