Title: sealant? Post by Steddy58 on 03/26/15 at 17:10:38 hi, I've got an oil leak problem which I hope is the rubber bung cylinder head one ( fairly simple to fix - fingers crossed ), so I'm going to sort it out but the manual recommends three bond 1216, but I can't find any here in the UK would 3bond 1215 or 1104 neo gasket sealant be any good or if not could someone recommend the right stuff hopefully available in Britain, cheers evryone |

Title: Re: sealant? Post by projectfj on 03/26/15 at 17:32:45 x2 on what Dave said. My closest dealer was Yamaha, so I got Yamabond. If you want to get some online, here is the part number for what I used at http://www.ronayers.com/ Yamabond: ACC-BOND4-MC-00 |

Title: Re: sealant? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 03/27/15 at 12:30:28 Draw the headcover outline on cardboard, draw a circle and slice where every bolt goes, know how many hafta come out before you start. One hasta be IN before it slips in place, IIRC, and then there's the upside down one,, stuff to know before you go... Just take your time. Might wanna check the cam chain. You're gonna be in the neighborhood...sure would be a lousy deal to need to go back in 4 months.. Well. I don't know how that got there or how to get rid of it..Sorry,guys, I tried. |

Let it leak, adds to the vintage flavor of the antiquated design. When the oil turns into macadam, break out the carburetor cleaner and a soft bristle brush. Real bike engines leaked. Harley Davidson, Indian, Enfield, Triumph, Norton, even Brough Superior. Helps preserve the lower frame rails... |

Title: Re: sealant? Post by Kris01 on 03/27/15 at 17:36:08 I've seen old crusty bikes covered in oil that looked like they weren't worth saving. Once the old oil was cleaned off, it looked brand new. WD is right (as usual), the oil will actually preserve parts. |

Unless you have winter down time, then, a seasonal deep cleaning makes sense. Bikes in an area that never see cold and snow, rarely see rain? Best be some kind of filthy... |

Title: Re: sealant? Post by Dave on 03/28/15 at 10:03:20 Sorry WD....if I get my bike dirty....I gotta clean it. Even when I raced Hare Scrambles and Motocross....my bike got cleaned up after the race. To me it is part of the maintenance. I do appreciate those that can just ride and not worry about how their bike shines.....I just can't do it. |
