Prior to riding, i always tighten the saddlebags, as another friend lost their saddle bag on the highway months prior (same model). When exiting the interstate, the right saddlebag fell to the highway, causing damage to the saddlebag. The bolts automatically back themselves out, no matter how frequently you tighten them. I had only gone approx. 20 miles on the interstate after tightening, when they backed out. Not only is the saddlebag ruined, it's a great safety risk to other motorists who may hit the saddlebag, or the saddlebag may strike their automobile or another motorcycle.

At times at a dead stop with the clutch pulled all the way in, the bike creeps forward. The clutch does not work correctly. This has a serious problem that can cause a injury or worse. Sometimes the clutch works correctly, sometimes not.
