rocker box sealant?

[Mitchell_p]

Hey guys, ready to put my rocker box back on after giving it a clean up etc. In the clymer it says to use a "non-hardening gasket cement such as Yamaha Bond no.4"
Am i able to use Gasket Goo? I wasnt sure if its classed as a non-hardening cement.
Any help would be great.

I used Permatex Ultra Blue on mine 2 years ago and no problem.
Nice thing about it is it dries almost clear. Highly recomended!

ThreeBond 1194

Most any bike shop will have just what you need.

ThreeBond 1194 is the equivalent of yamabond, and is available at most autoparts stores or motorcycle shops.

Has Three Bond changed the number? It used to be 1104. I prefer it (or Yamabond #4, or Hondabond #4) to silicone sealers because it releases cleanly when it's time to take things apart again and because the excess that squeezes out from between the joined parts tends to run down and spread out in a thin layer, instead of forming blobs that can break free and travel.

Yep,

I much prefer HondaBond over any of the others...

Hylomar is another good one

Three Bond makes the stuff for Yamaha, Honda, etc. Unfortunately, the E.P.A. cracked down on them and the formula has been changed. Yamabond 4 is no longer the gray semi-hardening sealer we've all grown to love. It is now clear and silicone based. I don't recommend the new stuff .....

3 Bond 1104 is amazing sealant...........yes the grey coloured stuff gets the job done!

jayel...........I used Hylomar back in the old days (1970's)...............made by Rolls Royce so how could you go wrong It was a premium sealant for sure.

All I have ever used is Threebond, but not the grey 1104.

I use 1211 - white in colour & reccommended by threebond for 2st cases.

I have used 1104 before & did not like it as much as the 1211.

1194 has replaced 1104. http://www.parkeryamaha.com/threebondliquidgasket1194.aspx Just google it and you can figure it out.
