After stripping my bike, I found that all the bots that hold the back suspension togeter have a blue substance on, I assume that it is some kind of locktite substance.

 

My question, do I use locktite when I re-assemble the back suspension?

Definitely. If you don't the bolts will work themselves loose. Get a medium grip/strength Loctite [or similar thread locking solution], clean the grease off the bolts and lock them down.

I would...especially If you dont need to undo them often. make sure its removable though. and then clean everything nicely so the loctite actually works.

 

but thats me. Other option , dont ride like this for a couple of rides and see if it loosens up. If not, should be cool.

 

Mine doesnt come undone. but I still lock some of them
