The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the pinch bolts that clamp the front forks to the axle may be 1/4" or 5/16" stainless steel bolts. In both cases, these bolts may not be of sufficient strength to clamp the front fork to the axle tightly enough to prevent axle rotation. If the axle is allowed to rotate, the axle could come out of the right front fork, collapsing the front end, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
