its not gonna be a recall, its just if it would come loose (i have only seen a few big twins and one 04 sporty) or if you have taken it apart. | ||

With LocTite, if you move the threads on each other (to retorque or check tightness) the locking effect is lost. The "fixture time" is 5 minutes for 262, try to get the parts assembled and torqued in that time. 262 takes 24 hours to reach full locking strength. It starts losing it or breaking down over 300F. Which can be helpful for getting things apart later. If I needed more working time or wanted it to stand more heat, I'd look at using the high temp 266 or 272 (all are red, but the specs vary). A lesson I learned the hard way that that you should not "burp" the excess air out of your little tube of Loctite. It starts setting up where there is no air. Note on the shop wall, burp the RTV, don't burp the LocTite... Jack | ||

Some things never change. The nut came loose on my '91, when I rode it to Milwaukee for the 90th. It hasn't come loose since. |
