Glues

Adhesives

There are several types of adhesives that can be used on motorcycles, depending on the application. Some common types include:

Epoxy, is a strong, permanent adhesive that is often used to bond metal parts on motorcycles, such as engine and frame parts.
Super glue, also known as cyanoacrylate, is a fast-drying adhesive that can be used to join small parts and fasteners on motorcycles.
Polyurethane, strong, can be used in bonding plastics, metals and rubbers.
Acrylic glue, a versatile and durable adhesive that can be used to bond a variety of materials, such as plastics, metals and composites.

It is important to use adhesives that are specifically designed for the type of material you are bonding and the environment in which the motorcycle will be used.

Which thread adhesive should I choose for my motorcycle?

For motorcycle applications, use a high-strength threadlocker such as Loctite 243 or Loctite 262. These products are specifically designed to secure bolts and nuts in high vibration and temperature environments, making them ideal for use in the harsh conditions of a motorcycle. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper application and curing time to ensure optimal performance.

Is it possible to repair a motorcycle engine cover with glue?

It is possible to repair a motorcycle engine cover with glue, but this may not be the most reliable solution and is likely to be temporary. Motorcycle engine covers are exposed to high temperatures and vibration, and the glue may not be able to withstand these conditions for long periods of time. For a more permanent and long-lasting repair, it may be better to replace the engine cover or have it professionally repaired using welding or other suitable methods.
