Rear Sproket Replacement Bolts

OK, maybe I'm old school but I thought you were to never re-use rear sproket bolts and nuts. Many things on forum talking about KTM's having issues with rear sproket bolts coming loose. Nasty stuff happens!!! Some even say use RED Loctite. I have not had any issues using Enduro Engineering blots/nuts with blue loctite. Any suggestions or concerns?

I always replace the bolts at every sprocket change and have never had a problem. The bolts will come with loctite pre-applied on the threads and that's all I've ever uses.

Bolts are cheap

Ill probably get flamed here but Im on my 4th rear sprocket on my 530 and Im still on the same bolts and nuts. The nuts are interference fit lock nuts so I dont even add loctite. 5000 miles and a lot of it rough, never had a problem.
