My breather bolts that hold the carb on have come loose yet again :cry:
I have tried every type of loctite or sealant and just got back from a ride and the front bolt was hanging off !!!

The bolts i'm using are like the RRC ones but just can't stop them from working loose
I think i may have to go back to the stock type ones as at least the front one has a
"jam" nut to secure it.

Any ideas ????

Try degreasing both sets of threads and apply a dab of threadlocker.
Using copper washers seems quite effective, too.

Done that,it didn't last :|
I just don't think the banjos and bolts i have are any good,i may go back to the
ones that came with the kit as i have been farting around with these for about 2 years :headbang:

I'm using the much heavier Nallin backing plate for the K&N and this could be a problem ?

It didn't work for me, either, the first couple of goes.
Then I took the time to degrease properly, using brake cleaner on a rag and this time it seems ok.
