[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1162076, member: 3828"] Yes, having the frame under "stress" by having improperly tightened the engine bolts can allow more engine vibration to be conducted through the frame to the bars and pegs. Just loosen them all (order is inconsequential) then re-torque them in the prescribed correct sequence. Essentially what you will be doing is drawing the engine to the left side of the frame [I]first[/I], then torquing the pinch bolts on the right side of the frame afterwards. That way you do not flex the frame by pulling on previously tightened pinch bolts. I have toyed with the idea of doing this after first getting the engine fully heat soaked (like after an hour or two of riding) as some of the dimensions are likely to change slightly when everything is up to temp.
