After greasing this pivot and reinstalling the bolt and washers I didn't know how snug it should be. Also the washer locations were a bit uncertain. I had it apart a few years ago and I'm not sure I got the washers right.
There are three washers. A larger diameter plate washer with a small hole obviously goes on the outside next to the footrest bracket. The thin wave washer most likely goes against the bolt head. The thin, smaller diameter plate washer goes where? I placed it between the larger washer and the pedal. After looking at the parts diagram it appears it should be placed next to the wave washer. Probably doesn't make any difference.
Should the bolt just be snug or would it be better to use a little blue threadlocker?
After I put everything back together I noticed in the 2006 Service Manual that they recommend that the two long side stand bracket bolts be installed with threadlocker. My 2004 SM doesn't show threadlocker for these bolts. Has anyone experienced loosening of these bolts?
