2001 GS500 Important Loctite Areas?

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!

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.
