[QUOTE="43Duc, post: 947222, member: 28583"] Decided to install a a pigtail to my battery today and after removing the cover decided to go ahead and remove the right side faring to replace a screw that was missing from the "v" cowling. In order to do that I need to remove the frame slider because the fairing won't clear it due to it's design. I just got this bike two weeks ago and it came w/ the frame sliders - bike's an 09. Anyway, as I'm loosening the slider bolt it starts to get harder and harder to remove. Panic set in and I decided that I must be doing something wrong (although I've never had that happen w/ sliders or engine bolts on previous bikes). I decided to stop and re-torque the slider and worry about the cowling later. As I'm trying to re-tighten the bolt it tightens up to the point where it can't go any tighter without fear of shearing off the bolt. I know it's not all the way in because the slider and spacer are loose. I fear that I've royally screwed up. Anyone able to confirm? At this point I'm planning on taking it to the dealer and bending over. [/QUOTE]
