Default Wolverine likes to shed bolts

What is the deal with this thing? 8 months old and I'm missing three bolts, one off where the front fairing connects to the gas tank, one from the crank case, and one mystery bolt. Did someone forget to tighten my junk down?

The bolt on the gas tank I have lost before, then fully tightened it down, yet it still wiggled loose?

What is this?

You should just tighten them all, and make sure they are the right size[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

In my manual for my Grizz it says before riding to check all the bolts as if to say we may have skipped some in order to assemble it faster. It also says to check the bolts at specified intervals . I believe bolts will come loose because after all these are off road vehicles that get bounced around so something is bound to come loose. Next time put a little loktite 242 thread lock on them. The 242 isn't hard to get back out yet seems to hold very well.
