Default Araldite or loctite on my bottom tidy whatsit.

Hi,

I did an oil and filter change today. Because this SV(which I love dearly) is my first 'modern' bike, I thought I'd take the bottom tidy thingy (what's it really called?) off and generally have a looksee. Tried an allen key on the bolts which attach the thing to the brackets - with no joy at all. I suspected that some form of threadlock was used but this seems a bit over the top. Is it usual? I'm going to change the spark plugs and air filter in the week - anything I should watch out for?

TY
John

Just checked - it's called a bellypan.

there are 2 types of threadlock. red and blue. Normally red is used at one end, blue at the other. Red is heavy duty! really strong stuff. Blue can be undone by hand tools - just needs an initial bit of power! and they are actually really that colour- and bright. So you might be able to see which one was used.

There's a good chance that the bolts on a belly pan have seized in place due to it taking a lot of water. Again, I'd wait until someone who's removed one before comes along.

yep - I am tempted to take a drill to the bolt. I got a feeling that anymore leverage in the hexhole (allen screw female entry ) and the thing will become rounded anyway. I hate p*ssing about like this. I just hope the guy who had my baby before didn't do any serious maintenance. He was from Llandewi Brevi - I hope I spelt that right. You know, it's the little Britain welsh village with the unique gay.

id say start with a decent allen key,

i prefer to use an allen key attachemnt onto a screwdriver, giving more feel to it, getting a nice clean drive, and a more central turning action,

i cant stand them things you get with the standard tool kits.
