Default Bleeder Valve coming loose

Well it happened for the second time to me tonight. First time i was riding along when a Harley came up and wanted to play so i went to drop it into third and it went to the floor. Was only about 2 miles from home so drove home in first. Come to find out the bleeder valve on the slave worked itself loose. I figured i just didnt put it on tight since i was in a hurry installing my Spec 5. Well i tightened it down good and didnt really beat on it untill tonight when i went to the track, made 3 decent passes and on the way back from the track i run a gt-500 from a 2nd gear roll and when i went to 4th... same problem. Luckly we had enough tools to get it semi-tight again and get a little pedal pressure so i wasnt stuck 40 miles away from home. Anyone know why its comming loose? i put it on pretty tight the second time...

Happened to me today, only I wasn't racing - just goosed it some and shifted from 2nd to 3rd.

Hopefully you got yours sorted out.
