[QUOTE="Colin24, post: 936298, member: 438"] Had this happen to both my bike and my Dad's bike. (Yeah, I think the specs in the manual are _way_ too high). Simply drilled the threads out and replaced all three with a fine pitch bolt+nut. used the smallest drill possible that would remove the rest of the threads then found the biggest bolt I could to fill the hole. (Sorry, can't remember what size exactly). Made sure to used a good wide heavy duty washer on both the bolt head side and the nut side. The only hassle is trying to get my fingers underneath to hold the nut in place long enough to get the threads of the bolt started. Fiddly work, but can be done. Did this fix probably in the first or second year I had the bike (its a first year 05 model). So I figure (as a guess) I have 75000 miles and at least 5 years with this repair and have had no problems at all. - Colin [/QUOTE]
