Lock Tight Bolts

Featured Replies

Which bolts would you apply a bit of lock tight too? Assume brake caliper and brake disc bolts, anything else?

.You don't need to loctite anything,just spannercheck it every 3or4 rides Loctite can make it difficult to remove things when necessary Better to copaslip all the fasteners so it will come to bits Mud and jet washing tends to seize things up

I would certainly lock tight brake disc bolts ive had them come loose and destroyed my hub.

I normally thread lock, Disk bolts, Sprocket bolts, Flywheel Nut, Kickstart bolt, Steering stem locknut and anything else that shakes loose.

I use a low to medium strength thread lock, It also stops bolts rusting in too, If you use the correct tools to undo them and providing the bolts are in good order to start with, There should be no problems.

Blue = stays put until you remove with proper tool and some muscle

Red = stays put forever unless heat, muscle and a leverage assisting device is used.

I just use the red stuff because it matches my bike better than the blue does :iamwithstupid:
