I’m a new motorcyclist and I bought a new Chinese bike to start riding frequently this year.

It’s a fun 250cc motorcycle and a great bike to get some experience on, but it gives me some minor mechanical issue here and there, mainly as a consequence from ineffective production processes.

One issue I am having, results as a consequence of how the bike was delivered to me. The bike was delivered in a crate, and I assume for the business to be economical for the distributor/seller, they have to take the lease amount of space up in a freight-truck. To accomplish this the handlebars had to be screwed in by the end user.

One of the bolts keeps loosening, and if I forget to tighten it routinely, it will fall out. I’m looking for effective ways to keep this from happening. The first method that comes to mind is welding it in there, but what if I want to change the handlebars later in my products lifecycle? Also welding might not be the most economical solution.

What are solutions to keeping my threaded-bolt from loosening and eventually falling out?

The easiest, most economical method I can think of is to use Loctite Blue 242. You apply it to the thread, torque it to spec, then within 24 hours it will keep the bolt held in place without issue. If the Blue ever comes loose, you can step up to the Red, which requires heat to bust it loose. It will not come loose without a LOT of effort.

NOTE: I have no affiliation with this product.
