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 theadlock 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.

Let customers speak for us
What can I say, Ralph does his research and never stocks anything he doesn’t use himself. He always looks out for the biking community and his prices reflect that, this is a unique service that deserves to be fully supported b my all us home mechanics whenever possible. Top marks for service and top marks for products.
Quality product, fast service. Biker’s toolbox my first stop shop.
Nice tool kit,shipping a little dear -USA. Still nice.
Everything I’ve bought from here has been good quality at a reasonable price and delivered promptly 👍
Had a great conversation regarding my z900 rebuild,very informative
The device worked perfectly monitoring a battery issue that turned out to be due to a newly installed third party entertainment unit. It made it so simple to see what was going on. Worth every penny. I’m sure it will prove invaluable on my bike.
Quick efficient service supplying quality goods 👌
Perfect..
I asked advice from Ralph,before purchase.
I needed a specific set of circlip pliers.
He knew exactly what I needed for the job. They were Perfect.
Job done.
They are smaller than I thought they would be, but they have the levereage and cutting power of anything bigger. An asset to the toolbox, thanks.
It sprays chemicals from its bottle and doesn't leak. It comes in a handy plastic bag and as I bought four, some will be clean until I use them.
It comes in a clever box, with the software separate. The instructions are clear and precise, and I'll be using it in a week or so on my GPZ900r.
