Default My bike keeps losing weight, in a bad way

Check the hardware on your bike. Others have said this in the past, but I have already lost the back nut from a lower chain guide bolt(the bolt was hanging half out when Tumbleweed spotted it), one of the others is loose. I also saw tonight that 1 of the battery holder bolts is missing. Do a check at home before you find out on the trail. And blue loctite is your friend.

damm bike needs to stay away from jenny craig.....lol naw but really you should do a nut and bolt check every time before you ride. espeically you dirt riders that bounce around more.

I was actualy dumping slim fast in the tank, I thought it would work like an octane booster. Little did I know.

that's funny. I check my bolts at least once a month if not more. The first oil change i had on the bike i lost a bolt out of my side faring and it cost me like $6 to replace it. after a while i guess it could get expensive.
