So are you saying to drill the bolt head and then safety wire it? What they should have done was to us a longer bolt and put a jam nut on the outside! :twisted:

Alan :D

Paul:
Thats what I did. Everything that ever decided to fall off or loosen up, if safety wire could get on it. then it did.

Rick:
Hmmm.  Don't really have any safety wire on my bike, except for the oil plug.  However, as I mentioned, I locktite almost every bolt on the bike.  Never had anything on the bike fall off....yet.   :lol:

Alan, make loctite and your KX5 ( or any off road machine ) friends!
I use blue loctite on everything on my bike. The blue loctite is medium strength and removable. Works great. Use it on your tank, seat, side panels, & everything else. I had my 125 racing buddy laughing at me when I was putting my bike together, I had my BIG bottle putting drops on all the bolt threads. One more thing, it only takes a drop on the threads to work, any more is waisting it. I hope this helps.
