Help With Broken Chain adjuster
Uzi9mm:
Never Seez doesn't eat aluminum. Never Seez has aluminum in it. Never Seez is cheap insurance. But, you dont want to Never Seez every bolt because you would have bolts fallin out every ride. Chain adjuster bolts would be fine though because that bolt cant just fall out. Maddoggy, dont know what happened to your bolt but maybe it was cross threaded or cracked.

i've been paid as a master mechanic since i was 18 years old. i'm not saying that i know everything but trust me when i tell you not to do something. i wouldn't share the info if i hadn't experienced it. however, you can "never seez" every part on your bike and it won't make any difference to me. i am just trying to help.

I sent Bostik an email which asked them if "Never-Seez" is safe to use on aluminum. Here is their response. You should call them if you have had experience with "Never-Seez" eating aluminum.
"Our Never-Seez products have aluminum in the product. There would be no
problem with using our Never-Seez products for your application. If you have
a concern please give me a call at 972-355-3791."

the brand i used that led to this experience was PERMATEX. never seez brand may not cause the same problem, but past experience makes me gun shy of any silver brand. i now use the copper based anti-sieze exclusively. by the way, ever see how a tiny drop of silver anti-sieze can miraculously cover your whole body in minutes? :lol: the copper based products don't have that body covering effect either.

On the label of the Bostik Never-Seez I use, it says copper formula.
