Daft Question of the day

Post by ItsaKeeper »

Do you use threadlock on any of the bolts when doing up the fairing, I mean specifically the 4 bolts that go into the brackets at the side of the bike. Asking because they seem really small and might drop out easily?

No, I never have used any thread lock on those fixings, and they have never come undone, yet :wink:

Do not use "Locktight" or similar product.
Spread some clear Silicone Sealant on the threads and that will stop them from falling out.
We always did this when fixing our race fairings on and never lost a bolt. :)

Good, timely advice, thank you.
No bike (yet).
