Might have made a BOO BOO ??

Post by DBLXX »

So - I installed the OEM cylinder head protective covers today and torqued everything to spec -


I put a dab of blue locktite on the bolts but just realized they didn't have it on them when I removed them.


This going to be a problem?

If you've only used Blue then it shouldnt be too much of an issue, might have been a different story if you'd used the Red stuff.

If you have any concerns then it's always a good idea to apply a bit of localised heat using a heatgun or just a normal hairdryer if you don't have access to anything else to help release the locktite.

Phew - thank you !!


I'm also figuring the head gets hot and may actually liquify the stuff everytime I ride anyway.


Again - thanks !!
