The screw holding on the horn assembly for the 2006 sv650s is not a correct length to hold up to the amount of vibration it is exposed to. My screw fell out after the last maintenance service and swung back up enough to poke a hole through my radiator. The screw assembly itself is tightened into a welded, locking nut but does not hold up.
