    How long do I wait...

    ...to fill with oil & ride after using permatex RED on the rotor nut?? I just installed it back on my 1100EX and was just wondering if I could simply put the oil back in it & ride right away??

    I put oil in my forks right after loctiting the damper rod screws...but don't recommend it. I was zoning out. I think the package states how long to wait...several hours I think.

        Mike, the pressure of tightening the nut "activates " the Loctite & makes it good to go! Put oil in it & go ride! Ray.

          It's an anaerobic reaction that cures it. Lack of air. I would think if air can't get to it neither will oil...

            TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
            Cure speed vs. substrate

            The rate of cure will depend on the material used. Permatex
            ®

            High Strength Threadlocker RED will react faster and stronger
            with
            Active Metals. However, Inactive Metals will require the
            use of a primer (Surface Prep) to obtain maximum strength
            and cure speed at room temperature.

            Active Metals Inactive Metals

            Soft Steel Iron Bright Platings
            Copper Anodized Surfaces
            Brass Titanium
            Manganese Zinc
            Bronze Pure Aluminum
            Nickel Stainless Steel
            Aluminum Alloy Cadmium

            Cure speed vs. temperature

            The rate of cure will depend on the ambient temperature.
            Full
            cure
            is attainable in 24 hours at room temperature, 22°C
            (72
            °F), or 1 hour at 93°C (200°F).

            Cure speed vs. primer

            To shorten cure time or if an inactive surface is present,
            applying a primer (Surface Prep) to the surface will improve
            cure speed. A 3/8-16 steel nut and bolt assembly will fixture in
            5 minutes using a primer, while fixturing will occur in 20
            minutes without a primer. Full cure in 24 hours for both

            procedures.

              Thanks, that's what I was thinking, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry - moot point now, gonna rain today here so I just buttoned her up & left the oil out 'till tonite...

              Thanks guys,

                I've loctited bolts before and then came back a short while later and removed them no problem - the sauce was still liquid. To harden the loctite (turns white) it definitely takes some dwell time. 24 hours to full strength per that link sounds right.
