CB500 k1 Primary shaft bearing spinning in case.

<< < (2/2)

Bryanj:
DO NOT loctite the one on the clutch side, it is suposed to be a sliding fit or you can not strip the engine, as i said it is stopped from moving by the retaining plate, part 1 in the pic

Murf:
If the bearing is a pretty reasonable fit, then as far I know you should use one of the thinner viscosity bearing retainers Loctite do.  It’s the sort of thing where stronger or thicker isn’t particularly better.  When the gap is small the thicker fluids are more likely to get pushed off the matting surfaces as the bearing is pushed home. Push the bearing in with a twisting motion then just leave to set as per recommendation.
I would have a look at the Loctite site and on Utube for info.
