My clutch lever bolt is vibrating out practically every day. I''ve bought three new bolts, but every 5 minutes of riding, the bolt is halfway up, and I have to screw it back in with my thumb while driving. I''ve tightened them as tight as I could with a screw driver... what else could I do to make sure the next one I buy doesn''t come out?

After you srew the bolt in, there is supposed to be a self locking nut on the bottom to keep it from coming out. If you don''t have it, you need one. Or you can try using LocTite on the threads.
