Safety wiring engine "plugs"??

[tropicoz]

How do I go about securing these plugs for racing? Do these absolutely have to be safety wired, or may I just use silicone on them?

[03Worc9R]

I see these siliconed on everyones bikes.

[The Snowman]

Mine are drilled. Drill it on an angle on the flat top toward the allen hole and wire.

[Slowpoke387]

Pretty sure on both of my bikes these are not wired or siliconed. I dont believe it's required. I could be wrong though. I should prob go look, lol.

Not needed

[butcher bergs]

No need to do anything with them but if you're not comfortable with that, dab 'em with some hi-temp RTV

[tsorfas]

i was gonna say, but already some of the people who commented cover me, that seems really unnecessary to me.

mine arent done either. nor are my header bolts.
what NEEDS to be done are:
Fork pinch bolts
front axle
caliper bolts
coolant drain
radiator cap
oil fill
oil drain
oil filter
rear axle
the bolt that connects the muffler to the hanger
rear caliper (mines not but never been hassled)

i think that just about covers the MUST DOs

my rear caliper isn't done either and nothings been said to me about it in tech.

headers are required to be wired. on an inline 4 just the 2 outside ones need to be done. However mine aren't and I haven't even seen them look at it.

Great time to get it done...

What if someday they do look?

[SVRACER01]

i personally dont get the header thing. where are they gonna go? into the belly pan?
rear caliper, while i can see why it should be done, seems a bit excessive. whens the last time you removed a rear caliper? the front ones get done all the time to remove the wheel so that increases the chances of them not being torqued properly. my bike is 11 years old (holy shit my bike is 11 years old!!!) and the rear caliper has NEVER been unbolted.

yup. I plan on doing them once it gets a bit warmer out.

I think I unbolted the one on my 929 (its also 11 years old) once when changing the pads. But it was more to be able to clean it better.

[SRTie4k]

I unbolt my rear caliper every time I take the rear wheel off.

You mean the Axle pinch bolts and not the triple clamp pinch bolts correct??

[FireboltEric_MA]

Yes Sir

[Eric Baker]

I'm with this guy. My rear wheel won't come off without taking the caliper/bracket off.

[Slowpoke387]

I got bounced outta there last yr for no rear caliper wiring. Couldn't believe it, been running it that way for 3 yrs before that.
