Markings of all the critical bolts for quick-check before riding

Post by MThomas »

Prompted by the "Check ALL the Bolts" thread (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=35635), I asked my mechanic to highlight all the critical bolts which he did with the white weatherproof markings.

Now before a ride all I need to do is glance at the markings to see if they've broken continuity which would mean a bolt is starting to loosen.

Two on the left side front wheel caliper and one on the fork:

One on the outside rear wheel drive:

And two on the plastic box on the left side:
