While riding yesterday I hear Rattle Rattle Rattle. It seems like keeping up with rattles is almost as bad as waxing a chain every 200 miles.

I am going to start going through the bolts again. Now I am not one to over torque things.

Thinking a toothpick spot of blue locktite is needed to stop having to check everything over and over.

Thoughts or ideas?
 
Every bolt that comes off my bike gets either loctite* or anti-seize put on it before it goes back on.

*I use purple loctite - it can be broken without heat, but it sure as snot won't back out on its own.

Check under radiator cowl...there's more underneath the cowl if you take it off...also the very bottom bolts come loose..

Yup those are usually the issue. They are going to get some Locktite this time.

Once per hour or so, my engine seems to lose its power by half, starts making extra noises and rattles, and pops and backfires until I turn it off
