Brake torquearm bolts
#6
I've been thinking about stuck fast nuts and bolts on my Fazer and I've come up with a theory. The bike was marketed as a beginers bike and many of its first owners would have been just that, and of course the problem with new riders is that they're not used to servicing, struggling with seized fastners etc etc. They think copper slip is some sort of correctional porn and providing its reliable the bike won't have any work done on it between services. 

Dealers, or more to the point, salesmen, could be selling washing machines and have no real interest in motorcycling, only hitting sales targets and giving customers  what they want.

Years ago your local dealer would discuss every  aspect of maintaining your bike, shame those days have gone.

Time to go back to basics me thinks

Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!
