Default clutch coming loose
So I've been having this problem for the past couple weeks and need some advice. My hand controls on the left (clutch, left blinker, lights, etc...) keeps coming loose and I have to retighten the screws like every other day. My question is can I loctite these screws or should I not use the loctite on the plastic? That's the only idea I've had so far... Any advice would be great. Thanks!

If its coming loose that often i'd give it a shot. But the plastic may stick to the screw threads when you decide to take it appart
