Your seat, what happens if it blows off!!!!!???

[Paulie B]

You pretty much got it covered but you forgot the oil drain bolt.

[thomas h.]

Yup oil bolt

I meet guys that have had there seat come off during transport

 

Keep them coming!

Pipe bolts and peg bolts.....gonna be damn hard to shift that shifter if your peg is gone....

[rjdgriff]

I have my wires and cables zip tied to safe spots, but I don't bother with all the other stuff.

[rjdgriff]

safety wire? you drilling holes in every bolt to put the safety wire in them?

 

 

just use fucking loc-tite and tighten everything tight and you wouldn't have to worry about anything.

 

X2

[thomas h.]

Peg bolts good one!

 

Lock tight is a option too,

 

But you get what you work for

 

If I drilled the hose clamp head for the air filter then that will stay put too

[thomas h.]

Wait, all this shit has fallen off your bike before?

I get only a few chances to go to the dunes and I the more I prep the better the trip

 

My brothers kicker top came off last trip and his exhaust bolt too

[rjdgriff]

Just make sure everything is tight and if your that paranoid just go get a bunch of lock washers. I ride my shee like its a 4poke, I ride it LOTS and I ride it HARD and on some very very rough ground. I never have any problems. The only thing I have ever lost the strap I use to hold a water bottle in place.

Iuse either blue or red Loctite on EVERY fastener on my bikes, along with using a torque wrench to tighten EVERTHING to the Proper torque. Since I started doing this i have never had a bolt come loose or something fall off because of it. Most bolts come loose or breask because they were not tightened to the proper torque.

Seriously? I've been goin on 20 years on this junk. I've got a couple extra kickers and a few of the other specialty parts that I carry just in case. Had to use them once or twice. But safety wire is way overkill on these things. Red loctite on all that stuff will be more than adequate and also make u bust off a few bolt heads trying to get it back apart. Except that filter clamp, better safety wire that one. Can't really loctite a hose clamp.

Paranoid, thats what you read on my post?

 

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm not going to wire every thing just posted stuff I thought up.

 

Oil plug is top of my list along with everything you carry spares of.

 

If I have to walk out of glamis because I only put locktite I going to be... Tired by the time I get back to camp.

 

I'm going to safety wire my tow rope now (jk)

[rjdgriff]

ya that is what we are reading, you don't need to safety wire anything. just tighten it.

 

Yup

I'm getting the bro crew beat down
