The back tire on my Honda Recon keeps coming loose. What should I do? Would it be ok to use Loc Tite on it?? Or is there anything else that I could use? Need some advice...

First off, make sure that you are putting the nut on the right way (taper facing in), and are torqing it up to the right specs. Then, if it still comes loose, check to see if your tapered bolt holes have been worn out of round at all. This will make the nuts come off. If it comes down to using loctite, make sure you use the blue (service removable) type.

250rampage told you everything that i know to tell you..i have another question though about my recon..maybe someone here can help me. The last time i asked the question i got some smart allec reply... But my recons front brakes do not grab very tight..If i am going in 1st gear they are slightly effective when i pull them back all the way..if i am going at any kind of high speed you couldn't notice if they were on or not. Can somebody help me or make suggestions on how to fix this? I have tryed the front brake adjustment in the owners manual but it does not seem to work. I brought it in one time for this reason and they said the front brake adjusters were frozen up. It happened again though and i don't want to bring it back to the dealers because they charge an arm and a leg to do anything and they like to mess around with you and won't tell you anything right. Not very good dealers at all. So can anyone here tell me how to fix this problem i have? Thanks to anyone that replies. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

You may need to bleed your brake lines...It's fairly easy, but time consuming, and is best done with two people. If you don't have a service manual, I suggest getting one. They really come in handly.
