I am replacing the clutch lever on my xb12s... should I use loctite/threadlocker on the nut & bolt? Thank you!

Just make sure you use the blue, and NOT the red!
HOT TIP!
I keep a bottle of Elmers glue in the shop & use that. Works just as well as the blue thread locker at a fraction of the cost!

I noticed the allen bolts tended to come loose so I use blue lock tight on them and check them once and a while

The way these things vibrate themselves apart, you have to use a locking agent on EVERYTHING!
