On my Missus' '05 Fazer, it seems the official Yamaha bellypan brackets vibrating will gradually loosen the sump bolts that hold the brackets on, anyone else found this?

If you've fitted the Yam bellypan and have since discovered a coating of fresh oil under your engine this is probably what it is caused by. Do a monthly check of the bellypan bracket/sump bolts to be sure it's not happening to you.

Ah now. I did think about that, but surely the oil that dribbles into the hole as soon as the bolt is undone would stop the loctite working? I guess the next oil change would be the logical time to do it so the holes can be cleaned out while the sump's empty.
