LOCTITE® MOTORCYCLE APPLICATION GUIDELOCTITE® MOTORCYCLE APPLICATION GUIDE

Since the invention of the first gas-engine motorcycle in 1885, there has been a love affair between humans and their

motorized bikes, often referred to as their “ride”. In the early days of motorcycling, enthusiasts were referred to as

“adventurers”. Today, those involved in these love affairs come from all walks of life, different income levels and careers,

and even from both genders. But one thing is the same no matter who you are or what brand of bike you ride –

proper maintenance and repair of your bike is critical.

We at Henkel are proud to provide you with this motorcycle application guide which outlines the right Loctite® product

solutions for every part of your bike. With this guide, you can maintain and/or improve the performance, safety

and reliability of your motorcycle.

Making a small investment, in factory-approved Loctite® products today, will prevent costly repairs tomorrow. There is

nothing new about these Loctite® application tips, they have been used on motorcycles and passed down the generations

for over 50 years. But now you have all the applications clearly called-out on one-of-a-kind 3-D drawings.

You know the vibration your motorcycle endures and how hard the road can be on your ride, so keep it tight – use Loctite®.
