Pretty freaked out lads left work last night and passed a truck on the way out the gs didnt feel as surefooted as usual, little wobble ,thank jesus the voice in my head said check it out instead of the usual itll be allright ill have a look when i get home.
the four bolts on the back wheel were loose hand loose now i asked two people i know one an mechanic and he said no way would this happen, maby one but four bolts no way i was in town yesterday parked on a busy street and security checked the cameras here in work.has this ever been known before to happen to gs i normally check most things but the back wheel bolts the last time the wheel was off was before christmas .

richie did you ever hear of the back wheel coming loose like that on a gs i had an old r80 a few years ago that one bolt was crossed and came loose but four
 
also what possible damage should i be looking for in the back hub
i took out one of the bolts last night and there was strips of metal on it

don't like the sound of that. those strips are probably what's left of the thread in the hub.

sorry if that's stating the bleedin' obvious.
 
If you cannot work out a reason the bolts have either been tightened or loosened recently, I think I'd be calling the Police.

yea strange there was anothere incident in the car park where a
car was missing two nuts on one wheel and one on another
the plot thickens me thinks
also anybody i spoke to said there no way they should come loose i guess its time to go to the shop with it
 
Call the cops... if they do nothing set a trap then when you catch them loosen they're nuts! Alls fair...
 
the whole car park is covered by cameras but not the bike shed
lovely innit
 
Have you been divorced lately ?

argument in a pub ?

It must have something to do with that 'terrorist beard' you've got going on at the moment lad :D
 
and there i was thinking everybody loved me
serious though when you mess up or have a close call
then you get the dry mouth and its either you fault or
so other motorist but this freaks me out i had hoped
it was if not a common problem,but something that had happened before
 
racer's swan song..

" you picked a fine time to leave me 'loose-wheel"................:P

Say thanks to your Guardian Angel who warned you to check.
 
Probably stating the bleeding obvious here, but that's my specialist subject...

If foul play is the suspected cause, then have you check all the other bolts on the bike? Brake calipers, front wheel, foot pegs, handlebar etc.

will do im not riding her again until i have the back hub checked out
 
It is possible for this to happen if the bolts are not tightened to the correct torque after wheel removal/replacement. I know cos this happened to me also.

I once rode home with a loosened swing arm.
Not foul play, just been in the hands of BMW mechanics.:mad:
