Fixed my 2013 ST's loose fender brace bolts!

[BamaJohn]

My 2013 ST Limited front fenders were bouncing around, so I checked the fender bolts and what a surprise...One lower, forward brace bolt was sheared off completely and the other 3 were 1-3 complete turns loose! After trying an easy out, I was forced to drill out the remaining bolt and thru-bolt the lower forward brace. Wondering "what if..." I checked the left front fender brace bolts and found all 4 of those loose by 1 to 3 threads, so tightened all bolts and now the front fenders are no longer dancing a jig!
Now if I could just get those Kenda tires smoothed out....new 1000 miles ago and balanced twice (by different people), and they are chasing the road at all speeds.
But, I still enjoy the fun of the Spyder!

I'll have to check our 14 ST fender bolts. Chasing the road, have you had it aligned? That's usually the sign of a toe in situation.

It appears that the fender mounting bolts could use a drop of some sort of mild Thread-Locker...
I had one bolt loosen up on my old RT... When I found the source of the problem, all of the mounting bolts got pulled and coated. :thumbup:

:agree: it is an assembly item and looks like they forgot to follow proceedure. :gaah:
