Thewhite Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 I'm replacing my reeds on VForce 2 and I would like to bond the outter reed screw. I saw on previous thread that some of you use loctite. I know loctite can dammage some plastic ... as loctite said on their web site. I discussed with the sevice tech of moto tassinari (VForce manufacturer) and the guy recommend to use yamabond or threebond 1104. From my point of view; the red locite (262) is not an option. It will be to hard ton unmount later, so the loctite blue (242) can be considered. The second option is the threebond 1104. Both are fuel and oil resistant. What product do you recommend me. thanks Quote
sToCk7miLL Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 i would reccomend threebond 1104.... never had a problem with it..... except the price..... i use it for my head..... its easy to take off when needed but seals great Quote

And for the reed screws, a dab of yamabond won't hurt em. and it should help keep it in place snug. I personally don't use anything but a little muscle for my VF2 reed screws though. Not too tight though! You don't want to crack the petals which will lead to more damage further down the line. Quote

(both sides) it is almost just like yamabond.... except white.... and it dries a little faster but still has the tackie-ness of the yamabond... its kinda expensive... but i have never had a problem with it Edited October 20, 2009 by sToCk7miLL Quote
