Something to check out

[UUBusa]

This past weekend while changing my tires and cleaning the swing arm I noticed that this philips screw (#6 in the pic) had run itself almost all the way out. I don't believe there would have been any serious problems if the screw fell out and the plate moved freely on the axle, but maybe this note will save ya a dollar.

Yeah, that would be one of those oft forgotten about screws. Not that particular screw, but I have had my swingarm slider wiggle its way loose and I only caught it because I was trying to put the bike up on the stand. Always a good idea to check those screws before and after a ride!
