While he's checking the bolt make sure he uses a Torque Wrench. Aluminum is very easy to strip if you ham fist it.

We went through bike for bolt and just to look it over. The only loose bolt was on the battery the positive side was loose. One questions I have are the new a-arms any better or different than the old ones? The dealer has 1 02 cannibal left they will deal with me on if I want.What is a good price. It has ohlins up front, 1000 ecu.I want it bad after riding my stepdad's. I have a scrambler 500 now and am ready to trade or sell it I think. My wife even liked riding the c-dale so that is a plus if I try to get 1 for me..If I dont get one I can ride his anytime..

 

I remember someone saying there was something different with the a-arms, ball joints, etc., but I'm not sure what exactly it was on the new models. The fact that the '02 Cannibal has Ohlin shocks up front is a good sign. What would be a good price?? R&S Performance is advertising '02 Cannibals with Ohlin shocks for $6295 so if your dealer could beat that, I'd say you got a good deal!
