Make sure you lift front end or lay it on both sides once in a while and check for loose parts. This is the second Proclimb I've had front end parts fall off due to bolts backing off.

Those little bolts that hold the top a arm mounts sure are at an easy spot to access.

My 12. The front bolt came out of bottom a arm. It's hidden behind rubber boot so not really part of a visual inspection.

So they come loose and things fall apart. What did you find is the best fix?
I suspect that the factory doesn't loctite the bolts.

I bought one new bolt and it comes with that blue loctite stuff on it. The one I found in the belly pan didn't look like it ever had any

The chitty thing is; those bolts are right in the nose above the air box. Gotta remove a lot to get there.
