The hugger had the same on me last year when on a weekend with a beautiful lady. On the road the woman started complaining about a strange noise coming from under her seat, but me the rider foul and full of pride for the bike dismissed it. Later we arrived at the hotel, had arranged a parking space close to the wallets booth for easy access via an interim side corridor. But trying to move the bike I too became aware of the noise and decide to act upon it. The bolts supporting the hugger were so loose to the point that in a few miles there would be lost. What can a rider do now? As said even if we had a mechanic and a full collection of tools every time the issue needs tool that by accident we do not have with us. Left it like that went for a shower and then with a clear mind went down to the bike again. Armed with pliers and a long screw driver that fitted exactly the torque bolt gap manage to tied them as much as possible and for the piece of mind put some super glue (do not ask). three days and 400 kms later the hugger was at its place and one of the bolts loose again. Arrived at my mechanic (costas) he immediately dispatched one assistant to deal with it FOC and a coffee offered, i like this people. He later emerged from the workshop with a grim face his words exactly: ''are you nuts ? you used super glue?" likely they moved it without issues. As for me decided not to carry the glue with me again.
