Secondary clutch bolt-Anti Sieze or thread locker

[xcsp]

I pulled off the secondary clutch on my Apex to check for grease all over the back side and that there was some grease on the shaft. All was fine.

Noticed the bolt had no thread locker or anti-sieze on it, so which one should I use?

My Polaris sleds always had threadlocker. ALso, the bolt on the Yamaha is huge compared to the wimpy bolt that Polaris used!

Don't need any. Just torque it to spec and it'll stay there forever or until you remove it next time.

What is the torque required to seat the bolt? THX.

I actually had to go look this up in the 03 RX-1 service manual I have because I've never torqued the secondary bolt. I always just tighten it with a 14mm wrench. The book says to tighten it to 46 ft lbs.
