Side cover bolt problems
Has anyone out there had any problems keeping the side cover bolts tight. My bolts have came loose twice now. The last time I put external tooth lock washers on them and red lock tite. This weekend they came loose again.

Re: Side cover bolt problems
Blue loctite is a must! Had this happen to me also. After I used the loctite I had no more problems!

Re: Side cover bolt problems
Red locktite should've held. We're the bolts CLEAN? If not that's why they came loose the second time.

Re: Side cover bolt problems
Oops, didn't read that you put red loctite on already. That definitely should have held. Maybe buy new bolts and try it again.

Re: Side cover bolt problems
I'm like you guys the red loctite should have held. I couldn't beleve it didn't! I cleaned the bolts with carb cleaner. I ran a tap in the holes and then sprayed the holes with carb cleaner and blew out with air. I went to fastenall today and bought new bolts 5mm longer and the spring type lock washers. I'm about to pull what little hair I have left out!!!

Re: Side cover bolt problems
No the longer bolts didn't bottom out. When I added the split ring lock washers it only left the bolts about 3mm longer. I'm going to finish it up this afternoon and give a test run.
