Re: Exhaust header gaskets

Re: Thread Lock, what do you use?
There are loads of different formulae of Loctite, and each has different characteristics. Some "lock" tighter than others, so only use the stronger ones if you rarely, if ever, want to undo the fastening again. Others have resistances to heat or fluids- some won't work with exposure to oil...

Re: Gerald has been to stay.

I have a bit of electrical fault finding to do on the Tuono as the usb socket has stopped working. Of course, it means stripping half the plastics off to trace the wiring...
