Honda Fourtrax 300 swing arm bolt came off

[Fourtrax_300]

I was driving down the road with my Honda Fourtrax 300cc when one of the bolts came off the swinarm. And i got two new bolts comeing to put on it and when i put it back together should i use locktite on the threads so the bolts don't come off again or what should i do.

Yes, I would use red Loctite on the swingarm nut. Also make sure that the nut is torqued down properly. I had the same thing happen, and I almost lost the swingarm, after the nut fell off, the bolt worked itself almost half way out. I was running wide open if 5th gear down a paved road, when I stopped, I saw the swingarm bolt sticking out. I got a new nut, and put plenty of red Loctite on the bolt, hasn't come loose since, and this is on a CR 500 powered quad that vibrates parts off constantly.

Like DD said..Locktite works wonders, but make sure that you are not using an old crush nut if equipped with one. If it is, replace that nut.
