Loose screws in RTS dash

[cognaccruiser]

Just a little heads up. This week while out riding I noticed that one of the 4 screws in my dash was just sitting there in the little depression. Lucky that it didn't go awol. There was no real reason for it to be loose. I have never taken the dash off so it just seems to have loosened on its own. I checked the other 3 screws and each one was a tiny bit loose and could be snugged up without any effort. Might want to check them periodically rather than lose one.

I have now encountered the same situation a couple times. Another item added to the inspection list for me. :thumbup:

Mine are all replacements - not because they came loose, but because I removed them once, and one disappeared down a black hole by the handlebars! - I bought four new ones because I couldn't find a replacement with the same style head. :banghead:

I had the same thing happen on my 2014 RT.
Last year I had the lower left screw come out and lay in the pocket until I could stop and put it back In and tighten.

Loose screws

Me too. I carry a 7 piece tamper proof Torx set (it's like a folding pocket knife) in the frunk. Harbor Freight has them for $6.00. Item no 97471. A little drop of nail polish on the threads will help. Do not use Lock Tite.

Loose screws can cause Kaos

WELL-------- they were all very " un tight".

I suggest we all check them. There is a brass embedded nut in plasstic so be careful tightening them. Maybe 8 or 10 INCH pounds at most.
