I mentioned this a while back. Even though torque wrench was dead on, one of the bolts was a gonner. I think someone did mention that the values of the torq specs might be a bit over the top and use -10% on the aluminum frame with steel bolts.

It happened during the spark R&R @ 24K

So, do I need to put my bike in the shop or would it just be O.K. to sleep over on a visit? I've always heard the area is gorgeous in summer! I'm looking at another 26,000 miles before I need an adjustment, once I get the bike back home from Wilson's, so I might not want to wait until it needs work again to head up that way.

You are welcome to sleep over on a visit but this area is not gorgeous in summer, we are about 400 feet above sea level and it is a desert environment. You will pass through some gorgeous country in central Oregon (John Day area is my favorite place to ride) and pick it up again north of Spokane -- and Banff is as pretty as a postcard.
