When I get my C-dale (Maybe this Weekend) what bolts should not be locited and what bolts should be replaced and checked regularly?

Also How often should I change the Fuel Filter?

Also after You start the bike & ride, then say shut it off for 5-minutes to talk or something, do you have to wait for the fuel system to repressurize?

Thanks for the answers

I use blue loc-tite on all of the bolts to attach the plastic. That is the only ones I loc-tite. Other people may do other places but I have had no problem so far and I have rode it quite a bit. The only one I can tell you not to do is the seat. The loc-tite holds so good I have heard of guys actually pulling the nut out of the seat.

Key areas: Tie rods, steering dampner nut, steering stem bearing pocket where it bolts to the frame at the bottom of the stem, and all plastic.
Another big area to keep an eye on is the rear sprocket. The 4 bolts that hold on the rear sprocket are notorious for working themselves loose when the machine is new. The big problem with this is that the bolts back out and cut a groove into your swingarm! (a really bad thing!) Otherwise, just go thru every bolt the first few times out to make sure, after that, you'll have a good idea of the ones to keep an eye out for.
