Loctite 648 - flywheel

4mm Low Hydrogen electrode. The greengrocers sell 'em loose

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.

lapp the taper to the flywheel , PROPERLY , then with a good key and groove use a heat resistant loctite on the bolts , you shouldnt need any on the taper ..( well u could , would be fun to remove ! )

Those loctite retaining glues are strong ! As an experiment, we used loctite 680 to fix a sprocket onto a 30mm shaft. 0.1mm clearance. No other locking devices. Even with the impact loads and vibration it hasn't failed. The teeth will wear out before it does. Amazing stuff.

Aprilia manual states "using of the hot air to release flywheel" - either 5-10 minutes with a propane torch or an oxy set till it turns brown, the 648 needs 250 degrees to release.
