Author Message   Ducbsa Posted on Tuesday, June 02, 2009 - 07:31 am:        I am replacing the shifter linkage after a crash. The new bolts have gray stuff on them. Is this sufficient threadlocking? The manual calls for red loctite, but that could apply to re-using screws. Not a big deal, just curious.   Firebolt32 Posted on Tuesday, June 02, 2009 - 08:08 am:        It's good to put loctite on any screw on our bikes. I've had a few in the past get close to backing out. The temp stuff should work fine.   Hendro Posted on Tuesday, June 02, 2009 - 08:32 am:        I've had the shift linkage bolt fall out 3 times in the past month... Definitely use loctite if u have it   Ducbsa Posted on Tuesday, June 02, 2009 - 09:11 am:        I wish I had loctite available when I had my first bike - BSA 650.
