Bolts shared off from flexing the frame ??

Hi all,
I have 2 bolts that have been shared off. They are from the right side grey cover just above the foot peg. I was wondering has anyone else had this problem? Would have had quite a bit of flex in the frame to cut the bolts. 2 bolts are still holding.

I have done 20,000 km on the 310 r with some top speed rides over bumpy back roads with high powered motorcycles.

couldn't post the pic :surprise:


Going to BMW to find out in case it falls apart at 130 kph lol

Sheared bolts

Yeah, I wanted to post a pic but the site says I can't yet. The bolts have sheared off so the end of the bolts is still in the frame.
I haven't taken to dealer yet but I will send an email with a pic. You wouldn't think the cover would be a structural support for the frame but must be something they are decent size bolts to.
I'm still riding to work but will get fixed before a long weekend ride.
