gbody Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 After reading some of these post I realize that the screws backing out on the v-force 2s is common , I was just wondering if there was a way to fix this problem with out buying a new set of reeds, if any of you have any tricks or ideas please let me know. This is the 4th time, mine have came loose. Next I may try some JB weld to hold them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00tbanshee Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 did you try high strength loctite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbody Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I tried loctite, it held for awhile. Do they have different ones I thought they were all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Blue is megium, red is high (stud&brg), and I think there is (green) . Don't remember think it was used for sled clutches. Clean cage and screws REAL good. Try Google Loctite. Just did for you. Green #2-1/2 screws hand tool removal, blue 3/8 -3/4 hand tool, red 1/2-up heat required for removal. MHO I would use red. Just clean real good, no oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedSheeRida Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 i thought green was the real strong shit, i would use the red also every banshee owner should have a tube of that my bike rattles everything loose. i have never had an issue with my screws backing out on the vforce2s check to see if the threads are stripped.

Green is retaining compound. Anything smaller then an M4 metal to metal likely wont come apart even with heat. The plastic cage of the V force you might get away with but I would for sure use something with a good head for removing in case you need to change petals. I've never had an issue with red locktight and SHCS. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhite Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm affraid to use red loctite with small bolt in case of they jam together. Do you think blue locktite will be sufficient ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I would use blue my self. If it happens again use red. I rarely use red on my banshee. Mixture of junk metal and screw weld isnt good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm affraid to use red loctite with small bolt in case of they jam together. Do you think blue locktite will be sufficient ? I would only use red in this application. The petroleum works against the compound, plus you'll likely not get the surfaces clean enough to secure an adequate bond. I've always used red here and never had an issue. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
