Stripped out tank bolts

[audiododd]

I was installing an electrified tank bag, so I pulled the tank of my Girly (thanks, stickies!) to route the wires. When I put the tank back on, I started torquing it down to 6.6 ft-lbs and it never got there before jumping the threads (on the front mounting bolt). I can't really see into the threads on the frame, but the bolt it boogered up  Has anyone else had a problem like that?  I'm going to get a new bolt and hope that the frame threads aren't shot. Otherwise, I've gotta tap it out and go for a bigger bolt.

Also, the Torx bolt on the rear tank mount had its head strip out while I was tightening it. Maybe the PO tried to take it out with a Philips screwdriver :-). It's a shame the closest dealer is a 40 minute drive and BikeBandit will kill me on shipping.

quit using the torque specs on stuff like this , cuz stripped is what will happen..............hand tight snug works well on all the body fasteners and such .
use the torque settings on major components , wheel axles , engine bolts , etc . and watch it on the engine covers too as the aluminum will strip about the same time the torque is right
