Hi, Just wanted to check for the retaining plate screws holding the bearing, tacho drive etc during rebuild it is the Blue stuff thread lock
I am not seeing any reference to red stuff during engine rebuild...
My blue stuff is over 3yrs old so looking to get new but thought I'd check
Thanks

Yea, blue. All the red I have seen is high strength. Bottle/tube should say to confirm   |

I use 222 on most stuff, as I will probably have to take it apart in the future...

I just Googled "Loctite colours" and that chart popped straight up. Didn't look for bearing lock, but possibly something similar on the net ? |

Top finds Dusty.
Gonna have to print these off, laminate them and find them space on the garage "fridge of knowledge".

I use 243 and 290, both can be undone with hand tools, 290 takes a bit more oomph. 620 is good for fitting bearings into cases.

I use lots of different types of loctite for my work.
Aluminium is not so tough as steel and can be damaged/worn out quicker than steel.
So I always use 542 which is a sealant.
I think it is a little softer on the threads and is still strong enough to lock them. That's just my experience.

Be aware that like the fake/counterfeit NGK plug situation, there's lots of "Loctite" out there that ain't. If you want to be sure it's the proper stuff and not Chinese knock off, the authorised suppliers are RS Components, Cromewell Tools, Eriks, Brammer Buck & Hickman, Hayley Group, and of course, all reputable bearing suppliers should have the genuine article. Henkel don't sell to end users on Amazon or Ebay. www.henkel-adhesives.com/uk/en/about/how-to-buy/distributor-locator.html |

On the subject of adhesives, I’m aware most of you guys in the know use ‘Yamabond’ for jointing the crankcase halves, but I wonder which manufacturer makes Yamabond for Yamaha, as I can’t imagine they make it themselves?, and secondly what product would Loctite recommend for that application from their range of sealants?.

Loctite 5910 will work very well, but it might hold your cases together too well when it comes time to split them.
Probably expensive as well.

We all have our favourite gasket gloop, mine is Hylomar. A copy and paste from their website... "The original product was developed in conjunction with Rolls-Royce and was used for sealing aircraft engines. Hylomar continues to manufacture Rolls-Royce approved products for sealing aeronautical turbines." ...... I find the Rolls-Royce and aero engine connection more or less up to the standard required for Elsie ! :-) hylomar.com/en/products/non-setting-jointing-compound/Steven. |

Yamabond was made by Threebond Not to be confused with Hondabond which is a club for Honda admirers who like a bit of gimp and binding activity Steve 🤨 |

Who knew? Closet Honda fan. 😁 Never ridden one, just a boyhood dream. I’ve ridden a CBR600 and it was a hoot. The reality may not be up to the imagination, but the RD is a proven fact. Jon |

Jon I must admit I do like them as well When I was younger I nearly bought a later one in the funny copper colour but bought a zx9r instead After I came off my R1 I lost my mojo for a long time. I fixed and sold it and stayed away from big sports bikes for a good few years Then saw an RRT for sale locally (first of the 918's). 15k miles and £1600 so bought it Was actually really nice, excellent quality and sooo smooth. Got my bottle back on it Very easy to ride fast Steve |

OK, so my first bike was a Honda c50 cub 1966, when i was 10. I used to ride on waste land. I loved that bike, got stolen after 12 months. I upgraded at a dt125 1974 vintage. No such thing as waste land now, let alone allowing kids on motorbikes.
