While I was waiting for someone to turn up, I was warnong my bike up, and as I was looking around it, I noticed a bolt is missing....It is the one from the subframe to the main frame.....I rang two Kawasaki shops, neither have any in stock.....
Should I ride my bike this weekend?

Go to a bolt shop. Buy some Loctite while you are there. Won't cost much...

No don't ride your bike EVER again....

One bolt today and two tomorrow

Sell it and get the 14

I hear you, if that's all it takes, I'm guessing my ZZR600 is doomed

.
I'm also guessing it's going to be sulking when I get back after sitting within my workshop for three weeks. May as well trade the moody biatch in
...if I could afford it...which I can't

OK, almost fixed....I have bought a nut and bolt.
Kawasaki were going to charge $8, went to a bolt shop in Capalaba, got bolt and nut for $3....
Stainless steel bolt, and Zinc Plated Nylock nut...

3 morales to the story
Keep a regular check on ya nuts
Never buy odds and sods from a main dealer
In the long run, it cost more to trade a partner than it does to keep 'em.
