This is a medium strength thread locker and sealer that will work even if there is some oil on the threads, as there always is. In the real world none of us has the time to get all the grease out of the threads of a nut or bolt, so this is the solution. Clearly you don't want the threads filled with oil, but they need no more clearing than a wipe with a dry rag or wipe.
There is a common misconception that thread lock is only about preventing fixings coming loose; in reality it is also used to seal the threads which is of huge benefit on motorcycles. In many positions on a bike you have either stainless or mild steel bolts, screws etc in aluminium alloy components. Combined with moisture this sets up bi-metal galvanic corrosion, which is very bad news. This results in the destruction of the alloy threads causing weakness. If the threads are coated with threadlock and seal before assembly, the threads are sealed against the ingress of water. We always use thread lock and seal even if using spring washers etc.
Although buying smaller bottles is more expensive per ml, you don't really want to buy more than you will use in a year. Storing glues and thread locks in the fridge will extend the shelf life considerably.

I am very pleased with the crimping tool as it is ideal for my diy requirements.
There are many more expensive types on the market but this fits my budget and works well, with good results.
I would recommend this tool as it works perfectly well and at a reasonable price.
Thanks to bikers tool box fot the fast service.
I am very pleased with the compact wire strippers as they are nice and lightweight.
You can adjust a slider in the jaws so that all of your wires can be stripped to exactly they same length.
I would recommend this tool as it seems good value for money and hopefully will last a while.
Thank you to bikers tool box for the rapid service.
Really quick delivery and a great addition when rebuilding bluespots.
Quality item, so much better than generic kit you can get on line. Repeat customer, says it all.
Fantastic done the job thank you
I hate changing tyres, but this stuff made the job much easier.
I broke the bead on the old tyre then applied the paste with a paint brush. Ten year old Bridgestone slid off easily and the new Heidenau, with very stiff sidewalls, was fitted much more easily than when I’d tried with washing-up liquid.
