I only say this as I recently transferred a whole scoot from one frame to another and thought "oh I'll tighten everything up later" in the rush to get it together and then forgot to. Bits have been dropping off here and there since then. I rode up to see some friends in Gent over the weekend and lost both of the bolts from the lower damper brackets simply because I never really tightened them properly.eibargum wrote:you may be onto somthing there Seeker, when the front forks are loose the whole bike shake,s, even on the stand.
Same thing for the forks. I had a "wicked shimmy" (to quote Apollo 13) until I realised the headset was something else I'd forgotten to tighten properly. It's probably the worst thing to vibrate other than the engine mounts if not tightened right up.
