Make sure the surfacaces are perfectly clean and degreased, and apply a very thin layer only like 0.5 to 1 mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 You'll end up seeing the blue. If you've noticed the clutch cover on my bike I did the same thing. It'll work though, keep it then, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovelstrokeed Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Next time, when you have the proper gasket in hand, do what the racers do. Use a sealant/adhesive on the cover side of the gasket and a smear of grease on the engine case side. This way, you can remove and replace the cover numerous times without the need for a new gasket. On my old Suzuki powered race bike, we would pull the clutch cover after every run to adjust weights/replace plates. I usually would get 100 or more runs out of a gasket and never a leak.

SBBXX Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Seems to be holding fine, thanks for your help guys. I couldn't wait to fire it up to see if the regulator was ok. Nice to have a bike again. Still waiting for the wing rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
