OZZYSBIKES:
Do you ever end up spitting feathers while working on the bikes ? It doesn't happen often, I am usually in my little corner of heaven in the garage working on the bikes with a pot o tea and classic rock on the radio but spending the morning stripping the 550 forks nearly drove me over the edge ! All due to the po loctiting the damper rod bolt in ! I've seen some stuff but that's a new one  !

mike the bike:
No point in loctiting in, it's never going to fall out.

Tomb:
I've come across it where the PO has used thread seal where a new or annealed copper washer would have worked better

Bryanj:
Honda did similar from new

Really ? I have been working on bikes for 52 years and I have never seen it before, it made it a bastard of a job to stop the damper rod spinning while trying to undo the bolt, I managed in the end with an aluminium rod down the fork leg to stop the damper spinning while using an impact wrench to undo the bolt
