That doesn't sound good Col, when was the last time the nuts were off, and did you tighten them yourself or did someone else do it for you?

I checked mine this morning just to be on the safe side and they are both rock solid. I've now done over 14,000 miles on the Hypermotard, and mine went on there at about 3,000 miles and have been off once since to change tyres; I removed and refitted the wheels off myself so I know I torqued them up right!
