My 2007 Bandit 1250S now has 8200 miles on it. I'm going to be making some longer rides in the next couple of months, and although I'm pretty anal about changing the oil (I do it every 2K miles), cleaning and lubing the chain, and generally keeping the bike VERY clean, I haven't been very thorough with bolt checks (and probably other things).
No worries - nothing has fallen off the bike, and the darn thing feels as sturdy, smooth, and quiet as it did on day one.
Questions:
1. I've done a little searching but pull up very little info - is there a common bolt or thingamajig found loose on anyone's Bandit? I can't find anything loose - ever.
2. Is there an easy way to check the exhaust pipe allen bolts? Can't really get to them, and has anyone ever found their's loose (is it worth going through the trouble to get to them to check).
Thanks guys.
