Exhaust Manifold Nuts

I do frequently ride the "sn to t out of her"!???
Nice to see there is someone out there that types even worse than me.
 
I checked the header nuts on my '17, and after 4,500 miles, they all needed to be re-torqued.
Also, the pinch bolts on the front fork were so loose, I'm surprised I didn't lose one.
 
I have been checking mine now and then and each time they needed a little tightening, this time I used the torque wrench and only one was to the specs.
 
Please note the manual calls out a torque sequence. The studs are numbered 1, 2, 3 left to right across the top, and 4, 5, 6 right to left across the bottom.

The sequence is to tighten them in sequence to 12 Nm.

Then tighten them to 19 Nm in sequence, and then repeat 1-3.

And as others have said, if you have had to do this, recheck them after each ride for several rides after that.
 

Go over the rest of the bike and make sure there's nothing else lose.
 
Fan bolts on radiator. Took the radiator off to replace clutch and to my surprise two bolts were about to come out completely. One bolt was holding the fan in place. Loctite used.
 
Does anyone know where to get replacement radiator shroud bolts, I guess they need to be checked often. It looks like its about 3/4 inch long, large button head.
