yea.. he is saying the proper way.. i got tired of shit getting loose regardless of how much tq i put them on... so red loctite that shit all... and worry about it when it has to come apart... which is for me usually withing 24hours after actually riding lol

Did you experience this issue of everything coming apart on several different bikes, or just one in particular?

just my banshee.. never had many issues with bolts vibrating loose with other bikes or sleds.... I may be exaggerating some here lol...

 

 

the usualy spots that shit would come loose for me was handle bar clamps, plastics where the bolts would go into the frame, gas tank bolts, grab bar bolts that went into frame, ect shit like that... motor wise ive never had any issues but ive always been in the habbit of at the very least using blue or red loctite on almost everything...

You should pm rjayb

 

He has had similar issues with his.

 

There's speculation that something with his motor and his chassis were creating some wierd harmonic vibration issue causing all kinds of loose hardware in places he had never experienced.

Sounds like you were taking riding lessons from DDQ

It would sound like it, but I was just stupid when I was 18. It hasn't got much better though except I'm smart enough to leave stuff parked.

I've read bad experiences with them if you do not use anti seize. FYI.

The paper work says to use anti seize. So to me a bad experience can be expected when you do not do what the paper work says. I will use anti seize. Then i will use common sense and use locktite if needed if things rattle loose. It's not a big deal for me.

Do you think they're a waste of money?

they might work fine for you but if your going to do something, do it right the first time
