Thanks Dash,
Learned what I needed to know from your information and thanks Ron for
telling us what a KSI = to. Makes good sense to those of us not in the
know without getting to involved as to be boring for those whom don't
want to know Too Much;

Hi, All
I have seen much here on tightening loose bolts. My machine is just
one year old, with about 2,500 mi, and I have yet to see a loose
anything (other than the hand guards which I broke and knocked off
while crashing). Whenever I take anything off, I use the removable
thread stuff (like locktight, Home Depot version) when I put it back
on.
When you all check, do you put a wrench on them, or just look?
If you put a wrench on them to check tightness, does that disengage
the lock-tight stuff? Do you need to undo them all the way, recoat,
and reassemble? How often would you go through that ordeal?
I am pretty sure our dealer here in Boise does a nice assembly job,
including I suspect using lock-tight on anything they assemble. Is
that why I do not have problem, or am I missing in my method of
checking?
Regards,
Larry Leach
service manual... is there a supplement?

There is a supplement, but the Clymer's manual is very good. The shop
manual may be more than you need for 99% of the work you'll be doing.
