I'll be installing a fender kit and springer seat on my 2013 slim. I'm always nervous a bolt or screw will come loose, so I want to put loctite on all screws. Is this ok to do? Any disadvantages?

 

I use it on nearly everything I take apart on the bike. Generally I use blue, but on smaller fasteners I will use the green. I don't not use the red stuff when the manual calls for it specifically.

 

Locate is your friend. On peices that you'll be removing often just a little dab of blue will do ya. Everything that comes into contact with the motor make sure all threads get locktite. When using this stuff is important to make sure your hardware is good Shape. Good threads and good heads it will take some torque to remove bolts with that stuff on them.

 

These explanations are great - thank you so much guys

 

Blue loctite and a torque wrench are your friends!

 

Just don't use it on your spark plugs

 

Actually, use LOCTITE ANTI SEIZE on your plugs.
