SX/SXi/SXi Pro idle screw backin out

[SterlingSilva]

anybody have a quik fix for an idle screw that backs out on its own? its a 750 big pin with stock 38's. just slowly backs out with vibration until it wont idle. not really a big deal for me but can be brutal on my battery and starter when i let somebody else ride n they cant keep it running

thanx

try loctite or a jam nut...

 

[SterlingSilva]

might try loctite.... the idle screw threads into a square plastic nut. dont think theres enough room to add a jam nut
