Huh?

[killa]

Came out to the bike this morning and as it was warming up i put it on the side stand.
It seemed to lean a bit more than usual and when i checked, by kick the side stand with my boot, it moved.
On closer inspection, all three bolts were loose, one was almost all the way out!
One of them is impossible to get to unless you remove the gear select sensor, so I’m thinking these rattled themselves out. Had this happened to any of you before?? I’m curious as I’ve never had a problem like this before.

This happened to me on my Duc 916, bolts need to cling on for life to stay where they are lol.

I pulled up to a bike meet, went to put the side stand down and it sort of wanted to give way. I held it upright and my bro noticed, one bolt had gone and the other nearly out!

Had to take the sidestand off, whilst me standing there holding it upright, put it in my bag and ride home to fix

might be best to get some threadlock on those bolts then...lucky you spotted it.

It happens on the TL, it vibrates and bolts work loose! I lost a bar weight today!

My zx9r sidestand was loose when I took it off the other day.

Meh. Less bolts = Lighter.

don't want you to worry too much but your nuts are pretty different in size, could be serious.

[The Artist]

I am more concerned about the quantity

Just to make it clear to anyone that doesn't realise the point I am making. Use nylock nuts.

Thanks guys, must be a V-twin thing.

Put your nuts away!

Seems like every bolt or nut on my 125 has come loose.

Top yoke bolts, engine mounts, side stand, Foot pegs, fairing bolts.

Now one of my weekly checks even though ive threadlocked everything..

[Hetzer]

Happened on my RRW Fireblade, except it was the foot-peg.
