    Loctite 648 - flywheel

    Have just about finished replacing the sprag on my RSV but need "loctite 648" for the flywheel (manual recomends for the bolts as well as between the crank and flywheel itself).

    It's incredibly hard to find (for an amature like myself anyway) and bloody expensive - $100 for 50ml. I've matched an alternative (Permabond A118), but just as hard to find.

    So my questions are...

    Do i need to use this specific loctite for the flywheel - I think I can use a high temp threadlocker for the bolts, but not sure if I can get away with it foer the crank itself.

    If I can use something else, what?

    And does anyone have something suitable available this weekend, either the 648, or an alternative they'd be happy using. Glad to pay for it, but not really wanting to spend $100 for something I'll use once, then end up losing.

    Cheers All
    Ciao Marco

    648 is a high strength retaining compound with fast cure. Not available in a 10ml bottle in N.Z unfortunately. 609 is a medium/high strength retaining compound and is available in a 10ml bottle. I'd stick with the reccomended product myself and FWIW $100 is a tad steep. Try SKF Bearings for a better price on Tuesday.

    Welcome to the world of "user pays"..... Don't buy a perfomance bike if you can't afford the performance price that goes with it.

    That $100 will seem awfully cheap if any of those bits let go at near redline.....

    Thanks for the response, sorry I missed it at the time. I ended up finding a reseller that splits it up into smaller bottles so got it for a good price. But I'll keep SKF in mind (never thought to try a bearing outfit).

    I have a large bottle of it in my workshop. Pop down to the Meek St Man Cave some time.

    This is KB at it's best. Your Aprilia RSV1000's flywheel is held onto the crankshaft using glue you bought from an RC model shop. Fucking gold.

    When you put it like that

    I reckon as long as the bike doesn't see the receipt it'll never know the difference

    Tapered shaft. V twin 60 deg so she's a bit lumpy. Ended up using rc car glue (f u Madness hehe) so it's all good now.

    Don't be silly. Rubber band and a bonnet pin.




    Yeah a reasonably standard bolt arrangement, with the retaining compound as extra. They also specify it on the bolt threads itself.

    Very loose tolerances , especially after those long lunches , Weld all round might be safer !
