I had my forks off today for the first time to replace the fluid. The triple clamp bolts, brake caliper bolts, and the small bolts that hold the leg shields on were not loctited. The fork parts appear to be magnesium. Is loctite not compatible with these parts? as it isn't with brass I think... Actually, just about nothing appears to had threadlocker applied at the factory, but I thought in this case it might have been for a reaosn.
No threadlocker applied from factory. Only place I used loctite was on the rear sprocket bolts. The factory sprocket locknuts are terrible! No issue using loctite on any fasteners on the 630. I generally use a small dab of rtv on most external and loctite on internal fasteners when reassembling.
Thanks. I'll check the rear sprocket. Previous owner installed an aftermarket sprocket. Hopefully he attended to that.
