This is some good interesting info!! Thank you so much for sharing!! The more everyone shares, the more the info gets out to everyone from one post! I love it!! I might try this if the cam issue comes back... It only seems to show itself when the trans faults out... It may have something to do with that event more than a real failure... Additionally, I figured I had swapped the cam sensors, but that wasn't the case... I didn't worry too much more about it when the fault went away...

Thanks again!!

I personally do not, but there is a cat that loves to hang out in my garage when I have it open... I know this because he leaves his dirty foot prints all over my motorcycle tank and seat... That cat was the first critter I thought of when the bolts came up missing... I didn't see the bolts scattered about, so I dismissed the cat as being the reason... And as such, he or she is still allowed to sit on my motorcycle...

Now back to the research which I might inquire about on here...

Cheers!!!
