After all my seat mods, lowering links, kickstand adjustments I went to add a 7/8 inch bar riser and found the top left handlebar clamp bolt was about frozen. Prolly cross threaded at the factory. I was afraid I would strip it if I forced it off and then I would be liable for the repair which is not cheap. It requires the top clamp to be repalced, the risers are molded into the top clamp, it is $189. I brought it to my dealer today for the mechanic to try and remove the stuck screw, he agreed it would render the clamp useless. He filed for warrenty repair.
I would recommend that all members check your handlebar clamp bolts and make sure they loosen and tighten normally before your warrenty is up.
Who knows if this could be one of those big "f" ups...just sayin.
