March 21, 201511 yr Which bolts would you apply a bit of lock tight too? Assume brake caliper and brake disc bolts, anything else?
March 21, 201511 yr .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
March 26, 201511 yr I would certainly lock tight brake disc bolts ive had them come loose and destroyed my hub.
March 26, 201511 yr 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.
