NickisGod Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 so heres a new one. for some reason my bike has the crazy ability to unscrew the lexan cover and quick change cover. this is kinda weird to me. i though when it happen the first time it was because i didnt tighten it down. theres a whole long story here but the point is my bike can do this. im gunna lock tight them, but im wondering if anyone else has this happen to them?

Nightmare Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I only heard this but never witnessed it but a guy at my local track said his used to do this. He used blue loctite and never happened again. I have no clue what would cause this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Mine did it too... I just removed the cover, cleaned the threads out with carb cleaner and an air gun, then put the bolts back in with a little dab of teflon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Lock Tight will ruin the lenxan. It will cause it to crack around all the bolt holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 o really i lock tight mine in cause i had the same prob guess i better get that shit out of there didnt no it would hurt I went through 3 lexans using locktight. They would just start cranking out around the bolts. When I ordered the 3 lexan direct drive had me send them my billit ring. They told me the lock tight was the problem.

And it only did this on my 10mil cover. I did the teflon mod to my 485 when I put it all together. I have not had any problems with either bike since I did the teflon. It just takes a little tiny dab, no need to go crazy with it, and give it time to set up before you put oil back in it. - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
