Management

We offer Titanium Hardware Kits for a wide range of vehicles, including dirtbikes, ATVs, SXSs, and more. Our kits are designed to improve performance while reducing weight across various motorsports platforms. We have kits available for almost all major Makes and Models that are used in Motocross, Supercross, ATV Drag Racing, etc. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, there’s a good chance we’ve got it so shoot us a message and we’ll get you taken care of!

Yes!
The majority of bolts used on motorsport vehicles are standard fasteners with some vehicle specific parts like axles, pivot bolts, and shouldered body bolts. We offer hardware kits tailored to specific brands and models. Check our product listings for compatibility, and if you don’t see your vehicle listed, feel free to contact us for custom solutions. You can also measure the fasteners yourself and find them listed individually in the Fastener section of the website!

Yes you can! Our kits are designed for easy installation with the same steps as OEM. Just make sure you lube your bolts and torque them to spec!

If you’re not comfortable with the installation process, we recommend
having a professional mechanic perform the installation.

Titanium bolts require different torque specs than steel. When installing Titanium bolts, you should always lube your bolt threads to prevent galling which will reduce your required torque spec. We recommend lubing the threads of Titanium bolts with High-Pressure Grease or Blue Loctite depending on the application.

What Should I Use?

Blue Loctite – Use on parts such as Rotor Bolts, Sprocket Bolts, Axle Pinch Bolts, Triple Clamp Bolts, Linkage Bolts and any other bolts that you don’t want to come loose over time. You can pretty much put Blue Loctite on everything.

High Pressure Grease – Use on parts that are removed and checked often such as Clutch Cover Bolts, Chain Adjuster Bolts, Seat Bolts, etc. When using High Pressure Grease, it’s a good idea to paint mark the bolt heads so you can quickly check to make sure everything is staying torqued down.

Some teams use only high pressure grease, some teams use assembly lube, and some teams use blue loctite for everything. It all depends on how often you check over your bike. If you don’t check over your bike often, Blue Loctite is a safe bet. If you check every bolt before you ride, High Pressure Grease is fine.

It’s always a good idea to mark your bolts with a paint pen once they’re torqued. This allows you to quickly check over your bike to make sure nothing has came loose before each ride.

**We DO NOT recommend the use of Anti-Seize, since torque values will need to be greatly reduced by 20-40% to achieve the required clamping force. A lot of people use Copper or Silver Anti-Seize on Titanium hardware and then have bolts fail due to over torquing the bolts. Plus, there’s no reason to get that stuff everywhere when Blue Loctite or High Pressure Grease works just as good!

Titanium Hardware Torque Specs

Most manufacturers provide Dry Torque Spec Values in their service manuals unless otherwise stated. When installing Titanium, reduce the OEM/Steel Dry Torque Spec by 10-15%. This is because you are lubing the bolt and it requires less torque to achieve the same clamping force.

If your service manual calls for Loctite or another lube on a bolt and gives a torque spec, this would be considered the Lubed Torque Spec. This Lubed Torque Spec can be used as the Titanium Torque Spec since the manufacturer is already reducing the torque spec to achieve the correct clamping force.

Titanium hardware requires very little maintenance since there’s no chance for corrosion. However, periodic inspection and cleaning to remove any buildup of dirt or debris is recommended to ensure the best performance.

MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

Any hardware such as axles, linkage bolts, or brake pivots should be cleaned and re-greased at the same intervals as the OEM parts. Other bolts such as clutch cover, engine mount, plastics bolts, etc just need to be cleaned and checked to ensure they are still tight.

Wash Your Bike – After every ride with mild soap and water.

Check Your Bolts – Before every major ride or race day, and as part of your routine maintenance. Check that bolts are Torqued to spec and are not damaged.

Lube Your Bolts – Any time you remove/install your titanium bolts. Pay special attention to OEM Maintenance Intervals on wear parts like axles, linkage, etc.

ANODIZED TITANIUM CARE
Oils from your hands can dull the colors on anodized titanium parts, so we recommend using gloves during installation. To clean anodized parts you can use a microfiber and soapy water (Dawn dish soap), Windex, or Rubbing Alcohol to remove the oils and restore the anodized finish back to new. Dry your parts with a fresh paper towel, not a shop rag, to avoid contaminating them with oil again.

DO NOT USE any harsh chemicals such as acidic cleaners, metal polish, rust remover, aluminum brightener, engine degreaser, brake parts cleaner, water spot remover, etc. The use of these products will strip the Anodized Oxide layer off the parts.

INSTALLING TITANIUM

When installing Titanium bolts, you should always lube your bolts to prevent galling. We recommend lubing Titanium bolts with High-Pressure Grease or Blue Loctite depending on the application. We DO NOT recommend the use of Anti-Seize, since torque values will need to be greatly reduced (+40%). You should use the OEM/Steel Lubed Torque Spec when installing Titanium bolts, or reduce the OEM/Steel Dry Torque Spec by 10-15%. For more detailed installation instructions, Click Here!

It’s always a good idea to mark your bolts with a paint pen once they’re torqued. This allows you to quickly check over your bike to make sure nothing has came loose before each ride.

Chances are, you touched your anodized bolts with your oily or greasy hands and now your bolts are dull!

Anodizing Titanium is much different than traditional anodizing of other materials like Aluminum. When we anodize titanium, we apply an electric current to the titanium bolt which puts a layer of Titanium Oxide on the surface of the part. The color you see depends on the thickness of the oxide layer and how the wavelengths of light is refracted by the oxide layer and then perceived by your eyes. Oils from your hands can dull the colors on anodized titanium parts by changing the way light refracts on that oxide layer. For this reason, we recommend using gloves during installation.

To clean anodized parts you can use a microfiber and soapy water (Dawn dish soap), Windex, or Rubbing Alcohol to remove the oils and restore the anodized finish back to new! Use a fresh paper towel or let the bolts air dry once you are done cleaning them. Do not use a shop rag since that’ll likely have oils on it that will dull your bolts again.

DO NOT USE any harsh chemicals such as acidic cleaners, metal polish, rust remover, aluminum brightener, engine degreaser, brake parts cleaner, water spot remover, etc. The use of these products will strip the Anodized Oxide layer off the parts.
