Utility ATV Sealant and Threadlock

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I pick the right threadlocker strength for motorcycle fasteners?

  Match strength to fastener size, removability, vibration, and metal: purple/low for small soft-metal screws, blue/medium for most serviceable hardware, red/high for large high-vibe bolts, green for pre-assembled parts. When in doubt, blue/medium is a safe general choice.
• When should I choose threadlocker vs thread sealant, flange sealant, or retaining compound?

  Use threadlocker to stop bolts backing out; thread sealant to seal fluids in pipe threads; flange sealant to seal mating surfaces; retaining compounds to secure bearings/bushings. Pick by the joint type and whether you need locking, sealing, or retention.
• What’s recommended for off-road, ADV, ATV/UTV where vibration and shock are high?

  Run red/high strength on critical, seldom-serviced mounts and suspension points, and blue/medium on hardware you remove regularly like guards and panels. Purple covers tiny set screws; green wicks into pre-assembled fasteners.
• What should street and cruiser riders choose for routine maintenance?

  Blue/medium strength suits most general bolts you’ll service periodically, with purple for small electronics or trim. Use red only where you don’t plan frequent disassembly or the area sees higher heat and vibration.
• How do these products cure and how should I prep and remove parts?

  They cure anaerobically after installation, reaching full strength in about a day; clean threads for best results, though some medium formulas tolerate light oil. Purple/blue remove with hand tools, while red/green typically need heat plus tools.
