I'm changing my plugs right now and I need to know whether to put red or blue locktite on the plug threads. The manual was no help they just said locktite the threads. Please respond asap. Thanks | ||

I don't think you should put any locktite on the sparkplugs! Maybe some anti sieze or a little oil but not locktite. DBird Hope you read this in time. | ||

Good Lord! What was referred to was LOCTITE ANTISIEZE!!!! Don't put LocTite threadlocker of the blue OR red variety or you'll really wish you hadn't! ESPECIALLY the red! If you already did... RUN the bike, get it warm, and pull the plugs with the cylinders hot and get that stuff off the threads before it sets up.(or you will get to see what a helicoil looks like after you remove it) | ||

ANTISEIZE. ANTISEIZE. ANTISEIZE. READ service manual immediately, if this is not possible, then have someone else read it to you. | ||

Personally, I like pink Loctite on my plug  Come on Mitch, the suspense is killing us. The whole board is waiting to find out...what did you put on the plugs? Cyko Bob  P.S. We are family here...sort of. We all make mistakes, like putting our hand on something hot to see if it is making "the noise," wrestling a pit bull for sport (sorry Oki), or grabbing a fan belt while the engine is running, although I have not actually tried that one yet  | ||

Apply heat should be easy... I am thinking gasoline exploding in the cylinder below the spark plug will apply a little heat! I hate that the word "locktite" and "antiseize" are used together!!!!! Two words WAY on the opposite end of each other! | ||

page 1-40 step #12...."apply LOCTITE ANTI-SEIZE to threads of spark plugs." | ||

Loctite is a MANUFACTURER, not a specific product. It is a prefered brand of product by many manufacturers. | ||

Spark plug anti seize is now available in a "crayon". Just rub on plug threads & install plug. Highly recommended for aluminum heads. | ||

Yeah loctite threadlock on those thread won't make a lick of difference unless you use the heat proof one. Most will burn off first time you start it anyway. Get your self some anti seize. Doesn't have to be loctite brand as I use Rocol High Temp Copper from an aerosol and it works great. | ||
