Loctite on Sprocket bolts?

[idratherberidin]

Do you use it on front and rear, or at all? and what color? Thanks

[nt650hawk]

YES on just about everything.
Blue at a min.
green as a max

[Pigman]

I use Blue and Puple for light duty........

For a race bike? No need except for rearsets.

on my street bike, low strength on everything.

Nah not even on the racebike.

But I also would do my rotor bolts on the race bike. generally i always used blue.

Thanks guys. I found a lot of mixed info so I wanted to ask. I'll be installing my new Stealth Sprocket set up this weekend.

I had 2 sprocket bolts loosen up on me. I was cleaning up some chain lube and was shocked to find one backed out a little and another was not near torque spec. From then on they see the Loc.

I facked a swingarm by not locktiting the sprocket bolts on my racebike. I think the chain came off also.

Definitely blue locktite at least. It's hard to figure out what the hell is going on when those puppies back out.

I just put red loctite on those and rotor bolts etc

I don't think I put loctite on the cush studs, but then again the sprocket nuts on my bike are locknuts...

[DucDave]

No...but thinking I will now....

great question

(am I confused or have I seen some of these actually safety wired?)

[nt650hawk]

I safety the front sprocket. It has 2 bolts that usually no taper to them. Ease of drilling.
My rear has taper to the bolts so not as easy to drill. + you would eat up a lot of safty wire and time making sure every thing is just right.

[richw]

All my fronts had bend over safety tab so no

Otherwise yes I recommend it

[seth399]

safety wire on the rear bolts? geez, might as well safety wire the gas cap to tank and wire the tires to rims

I actually lied I do use loctite on the countershaft sprocket.

You been taking pages out of 428's repair manual?

[out thumped]

I know red loctite is called for on sprockets on dirt bikes. Once they come loose you can throw them out as they will never stay tight again. They get ruined in a hurry. Same goes for a shift bolt, but i only use blue on thet.

I reccommend using a torgue wrench and applying the proper foot pounds of torgue as shown in your service manual, but that's just me.

And adding a little light duty loc-tite to each bolt couldn't hurt either.
