Title: Looking for part number....help
Post by Jake on 04/16/05 at 00:23:15

I poured over every bike bandit explode view drawing I could think of, but I could not find the seal for the neutral start switch wire through the clutch cover. Is there a seal in there? Mine is now leaking like a sieve. Do I need to silicone seal it?

My Clymer manual shows a rubber boot/grommet looking piece that fits around the wire and sits down in the little case gap. If this is missing, RTV silicone is the next best thing.

Okay, here's the story....

You won't be replacing the plug seal around that nuetral switch wire without replacing the entire wire and switch. You can't buy the plug alone. The wire has a connector on one end and is soldered to the switch on the other and the rubber plug is in the middle. Nonreplacable by itself.

How, do I know? Because I have removed the switch, cut and resoldered the wire and installed a new wire connector nearer to the switch so that I can disconnect the switch without removing the tank...

If you are leaking a bunch at the plug, I'd take the case off and try to reseal it with silicone, but in truth I don't think that will ever be as permenant as a whole new plug might be. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice! As soon as I get a new gasket, I will tackle that little job.

Go to the hardware store and buy a rubber grommet that looks like it is the right size. Cut it open with a razor blade. Slide it over the wire and superglue the slit closed. Works great, same way you change a steering column draft seal without pulling the column. (I knew reading all those car books would be good for something someday).

Saves you some grief, but doing it right is better in the long run. Come winter lay-up, do it right.
