After finishing up my DD bearing upgrade, I just put back the secondary and torqued the bolt to about 35 ft-lb. Should I take it back out and blue loctite? I worry that it might make belt change a pain in the field... Opinions?
Loctite your secondary bolt?

Why would you need to pull your secondary bolt to change your belt?
It's easier just to pull the whole secondary off to change the belt instead of trying to roll it on

Whatever floats your boat I guess. Just rolled the belts off both my M7 and M1000 today for maintenance in under 10 seconds each.
not sure what you mean? i pull mine out and flip the center spacer around then screw back in to open the secondary...
maybe in a shop or on a stand...the easiest way IMO to change a belt in the back country is the method i described. no wrestling, no rolling the sled back, or lifting the back up....

Yes, this is the way I do it too. It takes very little time and is so easy compared to my wife's Yamaha Rage (you have to somehow grab the rear of the secondary on the rage and rotate it CCW with about 100 pounds of force in a space that is about 0.5 inches for your fingers...
But I am also thinking no loctite.

If your not taking the bolt out and flipping the spacer you must have some other ingenius way of doing it. Can't really think of a much easier way on the mountain, or in a shop.

I take my clutch off too but I have a rk Tek secondary an don't see any other way of doing it.

I think it is the 07s and up that have the spacer that you can flip around right behind the secondary bolt and then you just screw it back in and it spreads the shivs.

You just loosen the bolts that holds the secondary on, and then turn your belt deflection adjusting nut all the way in.

Yeah I have tries that. It doesn't open enough.

I dont loctite mine..That bolt has to come out and flip the spacers to open the secondary up...Unless your a effing magician there isnt a way to open the sheeves

If your running the RK secondary or I think even the stock one you would probably plug the vent up if you lock tight on your bolt.

Put a bit of loctite on. It doesn't take much to hold the bolt in. Bolt will still easily come out with a wrench if you have to change belts.

Too bad it wasn't left hand threads. The spinning clutch would keep it threaded on.
