ZX-2 loctite ?

[Avalanche]

Hey guys what type of loctite do you use to fix front and rear swingarm to the tunnel, red or blue. I'm not happy with red for futur dissasembly. For the rear wheel it seems to be logic use blue if we need to readjust track tension. Thanks !

I used blue for the same reason.

I used Red, I used GOBS of it on the rear axle when I assembled the skid, two weeks later when I needed to adjust it for install it loosened right up. I was worried about it but they popped right off.

I used red on all mounting bolts.

As far as I know RED LockTite is the softest, then BLUE a little harder, and GREEN is like welding the bolts in place - need a blowtorch to melt the green LT before unscrewing a bolt or else the bolt just breaks.

I did use the recommended red locktite that came with the ZX-2. The red locktite is enough to ensure that the bolts will not unthread themselves.

when you adjust track tension are you locktite'ing? I am not.

 

[rxrider]

Me neither, as long as you can feel the resistance from the locktite initially added there is no need to add more.

Yeah I can feel the resistance of it in there. Thanks
