The threadlock looks yelow green or greenish yellow. ?? However Loctite green is a permanent locker which needs heat to release it. So I'm thinking it is not the Green loctite especially as the bolt came out with very little effort. I will use loctite blue. When I can get it. My local motor factor has NO loctite and NO silicone grease ?? It's a 60+ mile trip to Halfords and back so I may have to go Amazon even though I'd rather use local shops but they've all closed and gone around here.

Is dielectric grease suitable to use on the brake caliper sliders?

I wouldn't have thought so, it doesn't usually have a very high temperature rating ?

Low mileage service costs.
I took my 2800 mile Tiger for its 1st annual service at Blade, Cheltenham, £290.  Not too bad.  The second year or 12000 mile service is a big one though!!   But the dealers told me if I keep it under 6000 miles it only needs an annual service and the 12000 mile service is done at the 3rd year and this complies with warranty notes. Good info from a good dealer!   :clap:  :thumb:

Been for a loop around Anglesey with Josh, stopped at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch for a quich selfie.
Popped over to Anglesey circuit to watch some non limits track day action.
Fish and chips in Valley, picture op in Bull bay and back to camp via the Llanberis pass.
Missed camp turn, josh leading as he wanted an ice cream in Beddgelert.
