Took a lovely 60 mile ride today on my 650 Burgman and when I went to get on the scoot to my amazement the front wheel bolt that holds the tire on had threaded itself out about 1inch! The next amazing thing was the
lock bolt that holds the wheel bolt from coming out was only finger tight. Somehow the lock bolt had loosened and let the wheel bolt to start threading itself out. I DON'T WANT TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED if I had jumped on the scoot and tryed to ride the 60miles home with that condition?
Has any other members had this happen to them? My 2004 Burgman just turned over 2004 miles. My next question is I notice some grease spots on the front rim. Does this mean my bearing seals have been damaged by this condition? Never did the scoot seem to act funny before or after I tightened the bolt back up. I am really paranoid to drive it until the dealer checks it out. Calling him tommarrow first thing? Any help or suggestions is always grateful. I tryed to do a search on this subject but might have missed the problem or fix. Turned out to be a great ride and day and I am just glad I am home safe writing this note.
Thanks.......
