On my '98 XV1100 there are no frame tubes around the front of the engine. Instead there are large bolts that connect the engine to the frame, making it a stressed member. On newer Yamaha cruisers, it appears that they went with the conventional full frame. Is this because they had problems with the design used on mine?

Thanks! That gives me some piece of mind. Do those nuts need to be checked, or were they installed with LokTite? If they need checked, can I just use a ratchet and socket, or do I need a torque wrench?
