Engine bolt broken Vader 125

If you own a Vader 125 make sure you check your engine bolt. Took a ride today cut short because of rain. Went out and started it up for another ride and heard rattling. Looked and saw the engine bolt vibrated almost all the way out. Best bet would be to just change it out before this happens. I believe it's 4" or 4 1/2", I'm not really sure cause I couldn't get it back in all the way and it measures 4" as is. 10mm wrenches will do the trick for the bolt if your going to replace it. You'll also have to take the foot pegs off (12mm, 14mm and 17mm) sockets for the pegs. You'll also have to lower the chain in order to replace it. I haven't done it yet but I've taken everything apart already so I can put it back together when I get a new bolt. I'll probably get both a 4" and 4 1/2" bolt just to be safe. Hope this helps!
