SCS won't stay tight?

[GMscoot]

I have a baby proto scs and Phoenix phorx and everything has been running smooth on my scooter but now my scs won't stay tight. I tighten it then the next time I ride I have headset play. My scs is pretty used. Time for a new one?

 

[Dallen.]

Yeah, buy my brand new baby.

buy bue locktite and put it on all the bolt threads. Use an impact wrench to tighten the bottom two?

make sure to buy blue. If you buy i think its red, your bolt will never come out. ever.

Is the built in starnut stripped? Otherwise I'd check your headset cups for cracks and possibly replace the bearings, and loctite everything.

If that's the case also have a look at the internal starnut and check for stripping and/or deformation.

Make sure not to buy the super ridiculously strong loctite, otherwise you'll spend half an hour with a blowtorch and hammer trying to get that bastard out.

That's right! Get the blue loctite NOT THE RED LOCTITE

You need Locktite and if that doesn't work buy a new compression
