Never complain about loose bolts

wilkson · Mar 25, 2018

After the 1199 1299 series of bikes there was a common problem of bolts coming loose so I think the factory have taken this on board .
The new V4 seems to have red Loctite on everything which is making things really painful with taking things apart .
I have attempted to remove the rear sub frame and with the combination of red Loctite and soft bolts it's becoming a issue so take it easy when removing anything .

Loctite red permanent needs heat to undo, for red low shouldn’t be a issue.

It'd red difficult to undo .

I hate red for that reason. Blue is much nicer to undo.

if its red you should not be forcing it out without heat. depending on the dia. of the fastener you can easily mistake a loosening bolt for a head shearing.
