A helpful tip for tear downs and reassembly
We all know our bikes have many different sized and length bolts . Here is a tip so you can greatly speed up reassembly and not loose a single bolt. First is the bag method You put the bolts from the area you are working on at the moment please dont do it after you have all of the bolts as this defeats the whole purpose. Put them in and label with a sharpie. The second works well with all of the body bolts just by simply putting the bolt in the same hole it came out of right away For example the radiator shroud bolts are very short. If you keep of every bolt you take out and file it right away you wont loose a single bolt and you wont be sorting a bucket of bolts for finding the right size bolt every single time greatly reducing reassembly time. I hope this helps those who need it

Yes and i almost forgot to use blue lock tite on every body and suspension bolt that comes off, It takes just a little time on the front side but saves huge time on the back side

Excellent tip! I did the same. Let me guess - parts washing in the kitchen sink? What's the wife gonna say?
