Pretty much rebuilt my GS from the ground up (Slow project starting in April) and remember the manual suggesting the use of a thread locking substance on certain bolts. The problem is I did not have Loctite at the time and just used other goop, but now I want to go back and secure the needed bolts with official loctite. For the life of me I cannot remember the suggested bolts aside form the caliper mounting bolts...I can take a couple hours and skim the book but why do that when I have this awesome crew online!?
Would anyone happen to know the recommended areas that must/should have loctite?
I know loctite on almost any bolt will not hurt, but that is A LOT of re-torquing...so only the most important bolts will really help my sanity.
Thanks!
Bump! Just got the Loctite! Anyone??
Brake calipers, and the Foot peg bolts [I've actually had this come lose on me while riding and dangle. weird feeling] :cheers:
as far as engine goes, when I rebuilt mine I don't remember using loctite anywhere inside it.
Thanks, gonna skim the manual tomorrow. May do anything brake related including rotor bolts as well as the foot peg bolts.
yeah those are good to do.
