Default Calling all raptor big bores, need answer

I love how fast my bike is BUT that damn thing cannot keep any bolt tight what so ever. I mounted 2 trail tech lights on the handle bar, they SNAPPED off, I called trail tech and got the mounting kit on the frame , they SNAPPED off, my 6 pack rack wore out the grommets now I need a new subframe, my rear light tore its rubber bushings out and fell off and after EVERY trip every nut and bolt have to checked and sometimes replaced. If there something not properly balanced withen the engine ?? It runs well , no mechanical problems whatsoever but this damn vibration issue is driving me nuts. all this has happened since the new motor and the bike itself is only 10 months old.
Thanks

None of our motors have a vibration problem. I would think you have checked the motor mounts?????

my buddy had the same problem. turned out he was running too high air pressure in his tires. he was rattleing himself to death. aired down and problem went away.

? I am guessing if it was the rod you would have had larger problems by now. Did you get your shocks at the same time you did your motor? Bent or out of ballance wheel/hub problem? HMmmmm?
