Check the torque on your wheel lug nuts now.....
Just discovered, after 3 months of ownership, that my wheel nuts are not at the 100 ft lb spec. Because we are all driving new vehicles this is something that gets easily overlooked....wouldn't want to see any of my forum friends get into trouble.

Checked mine when I got home from the dealer (2500 miles). Rears were fine, fronts were at approx. 65 Lb-Ft.

Set mine when I added a set of lug nut locks.

Lots of people never wear their seat belt, lots of people never wear a helmet on a motorcycle, lots of people smoke their whole life - and never have a problem. That doesn't mean any of those things are a good idea either.
