We snug them up with good effort.
No loctite.
Seem to stay put.

never use locktite on p/rods,never had a set come loose either.got a chuckle out of the "cut them out like you did with the stock ones",who the hell would cut out a set of adjustable p/rods??

 

You ever taken up all the adjustment stroke of an adjustable pushrod with 40 TPI using two wrenches 1/4 turn at a time??? Lets do the math... To fully collapse an quickie pushrod you need to shorten it by about 1.5". At 40 threads per inch, that's 60 revolutions, or 240 repositionings of the wrenches based on 1/4 turn clearance strokes with the wrenches.

I would cut adjustable pushrods, that's who (when the threads are marred up and my fingers aren't powering thru it).

 

have had several bikes with adjustable rocker arms, never had one come loose. as long as the push rod jam nut is tightened good you should have no problem.

 

 

I can see why FM says to use 271 loctite.... I don't think I would ever use a 3 piece pushrods...
And i never used loctite and never had an issue...(S&S pushrods..)

 

Fuel Moto putting their logo on top of Smith Bros. pushrod instructions does not make it Fuel Moto's instructions.

thanks hardtail...
I am 100% aware of how FM rebrands Smith Bros... I still wouldn't be using a 3 piece pushrod....
