[QUOTE="FJReady, post: 1153976, member: 465"] Words of caution: 1. Yamaha used plastic screws for a reason. I think it is so they break off when needed in a crash. best to stick with them. 2. DO NOT use regular Loctite (blue#242 medium strength or red#271 high strength) on nylon screws. It will dissolve and/or weaken the plastic including your Lexan (polycarbonate) windshield. Loctite 425 is made for plastic but I don't think its necessary for this application. There seems to be sufficient running torque (friction) to keep those plastic screws in place. [/QUOTE]
