Thread Lock during Spline Lube
A quick one I hope, I am about to do a Spline Service on a 2019 1250 RT and have watched a number of videos and searched for this but I am getting conflicting information. When you replace the Paralever Link onto the rear bevel I have found the torque of 56Nm but have seen everything from Red Loctite to Loctite 2701 (Green) to Blue 243 and nothing at all. What is the correct one to use as I plan to do this regularly each year? Thanks in advance.

Service manual says to use "Thread-locking compound (micro-encapsulated)", I use the blue stuff.

Re: Thread Lock during Spline Lube
Use a medium strength one which is blue I believe
Otherwise you will have a tough job the next time you want to remove it
