Found my coolant tank was hanging off!!

First ride this year and on return I noticed my coolang tank was hanging on by the hose!. Luckily I had a spare bolt so i refitted it using locktite. Only one bolt holding it on! Only covered 1600 miles new last june.

Time for me to check the bolt then

Ditto. Strange, because every other bolt I’ve touched seems to have been “done up” by a Gorilla!

What tank is that? The one on the left side with a black plastic cover over a white tank?

Yes LH side front near radiator

Lol, I can vouch for that. I've managed to round the head of a bolt at the back of my bike trying to remove it. Fortunately it came off eventually with mole grips and I bought a replacement from the dealer. No harm done but I think the same monkey as yours also built my bike
