My 03 vibrates a lot....should I get some mild loctite?

Yup,

And don't "Screw" yourself...(Pun intended...)by over tightening things.

ESPECIALLY the DRAIN BOLT!

Be extra nice to your "Sub-frame" fasteners...they're threaded into ALUMINUM!

Use a "Servicable" type Loc-tite and you'll be fine.

Blue loc-tite, NOT the red stuff, invest in a safety wire setup also. Good stuff

Check over the bolts after each ride,and I use loctite but not on the tank inserts,I actually use never sieze on mine.I hand tighten my drain plug,then snug it with a wrench,then safty wire it as its easy to over tighten.
