    Exclamation what sealant do you use to reseal your cases?

    I am about to rebuild the lower end on a 86 kxt250 and will need to reseal the center cases. i asked my dealer but all he wanted was to sell me some parts

    i will be ordering from service honda (unless you have a better spot) so a part # would be nice.

    thanks

    I use yamabond 4. It's semi-hardening, which means you can take it apart again someday.

    I only us threebond 1211 gasket sealer. The best ive ever use and will never use anything else. Its a little hard to find, but well worth it. Semi hardening but very strong. Can be found at most Kawasaki dealerships.

    I use threebond 1215. Its only available in japan. It causes cancer and is not forsale in the states. This is what KTM uses. Most jap companies use the same. I work for a japanese company and we import it in.

    I use Threebond 1211 or Yamabond. I've used it countless times and is what is recommended in the repair manuals.

    I've used Yamabond, but my Bro says that Hondabond is the best. He works on 500HP Porsche race cars for a living, so if its good enough for them, its good enough for my bikes. BTW I think its Hondabond 5. I just used it so I should know, but I'm not sure.

    I've used almost all of them at this point but I favor YAMABOND 4. Never had it fail me yet.

    Hi-Tack from Napa. The stuff is great and if you notice a week or month later that you got some on the side case and want to remove it quickly, then just get some acetone and wipe it off. I will tell you it's the shnitz.

    Why can't someone use a regular automotive gasket sealer?

    You can use it. In fact Hi-Tack is a multi-purpose sealant and it's really good stuff. That little can probably has enough in it to completely rebuild 10-20 3 wheeler engines for under $6 a can. Once you use it, you will see why I like it.

    ha ha, Now this makes sense to a heavy line mechanic. LOL!
    I would have to use Cummin's grey silicone sealant.
