Can i use this on a motor scooter on the nut that holds the steering wheel on so I can get many miles as it would possibly vibrate allot on the road?

Yes, LOCTITE Threadlockers prevent fasteners from loosening due to vibration. LOCTITE 242 or LOCTITE 243 are both our medium strength blue Threadlocker. We also have LOCTITE 263 which is our high-strength red Threadlocker.

Loctite Threadlocker 222 is a low strength, noncorrosive purple threadlocker designed for fasteners under 1⁄4" (6 mm) that require occasional adjustment. Removable with hand tools for easy disassembly. Typical applications include carburetors, relay locks, headlamps, throttle body assembly, choke assembly and fuel injection set screws, body panel mounting fasteners. Invented by Henkel as a revolutionary method to positively lock and seal threaded fasteners, Loctite threadlocker adhesives are used in a wide range of applications from delicate fuel injection components to heavy-duty transmission and engine assemblies. Specified by automotive OEM's and approved for use on factory assembly lines, threadlockers work by filling the spaces between threads. The result is a secure, one-piece assembly that will not loosen under stress. Review: Genuine - It’s loctite. It holds screws. Good stuff Review: It’s blue loctite - It’s LOCTITE It keeps threaded fasteners from vibrating loose. I use this when mounting rifle scopes, RMRs, receiver sights, bolting bumpers onto my jeep, etc.

Product works

Great stuff for automotive needs. Bottle is a good size if you use it often on older car/trucks that need some hold on the bolts.
