I have a replacement rotor I bought from a salvage yard. According to the service manual I should replace the disc bolts with new ones. What y'all think about that, do it or use my existing ones? Also, I noticed my disc bolts had a red substance on them, most likely lock-tite. Should I put some lock-tite on the disc bolts? Which grade med or heavy?

I'm thinking, shyt, I bought a used rotor (<2000 miles) why buy new bolts.

 

well...i've learned to never mess around when it comes to brakes...but then i've also learned some other stuff too...like ok short cuts and what not...

but peace of mind goes a long way...can you get by with using loc tite on old bolts?

 

I would think the only reason to use new bolts would be if the old ones were overstressed when torqued in the first time. Why do you need a anew rotor for an 06 that many miles already? I thought rotors were to be replaced together?

 

I bent the rotor by moving my bike with the Rotor lock on [:@]

Well I finished up this morning, I used loc-tite on the existing bolts.

Just got back from my test ride, couple Endos, everything is all good.
