Loc Tite for bolts
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to ATVs and I'm posting what may be a stupid question. I'm planning to tear down and rebuild my 1986 LTF230G for restoration. One thing that my uncle suggested was using blue loc tite on all the bolts. He said the vibration of a 4 wheeler and it being off-road, etc. could cause bolts to come out. Is he right? Is that what others do?
Thanks,
Danny

Loctite #242 is the blue stuff (Loctite makes a zillion products, including many different thread lockers besides #242). It is fairly expensive. McMaster Carr (www.mcmaster.com) sells it.
I've also used the thread locker from Harbor Freight. It works, is removable, and is much, much less expensive.
If you are trying to lock down nuts then you could always replace the nuts with the nylon insert style lock nuts from your local hardware store.
