Default Ness Big Sucker Installation Question

Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased a PCIII and Stage 1 Ness Big Sucker from Fuelmoto. My question is. What bolts do I put loctite on? In the instructions it makes no mention of putting loctite on the Banjo Bolts. I notice that they have a blue coating on the threads. Is this instead of loctite? Also any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Happy riding,
Willie

The blue on the threads is pre applied loctite. I still put a little more on them. Make sure to clean the oil out of the threads on the heads. Loctite + oil = no holding power. Also put loctite on the studs holding the backing plate on but not the bolts holding the air filter. If you loctite the A/C bolts they will pull the studs out when you try to service the filter.

Becareful with the 4 o-rings - use a light grease to keep them in place & follow the torque spects...

I wouldn't recommend adding any loctite to the banjo bolts. You'll be removing them regularly to replace the leaky sealing washers...
