I forget who advised using Hylomar. Maybe Jeff Saline? But no matter who suggested it, I am wondering if it would be a good compound to use where the wires go through the left side case to the alternator. If not, what would be better? Your help is appreciated. Cheers! -- Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

<><><><><><><> <><><><><><><> Robert, I have suggested using Hylomar for a few sealing situations. I don't think it would be appropriate for the stator wires. In that situation I think I would probably use High Temperature RTV after making sure it was entirely free of oily residue. I might use Acetone as a cleaning agent.

Thanks Jeff, I am a little worried that High Temp RTV might be a little too permanent. If the RTV bonds to the rubber portions, well I guess that isn't the end of the world. Thanks! Robert =====================================

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Robert, In my experience RTV is pretty easy to remove from rubber parts. I use High Temp RTV as an adhesive for the heating elements for my grips. I've removed grips and heating elements with much success and little effort. I looked in the factory service manual and it doesn't call for any sealant at the harness rubber sealing plugs.

Well, Jeff, the factory uses something.  I know because I scraped it off! Robert P. Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C+1 916 966 9060FAX +1 916 966 9068

I just use plain ole silicone seal in the tube. Just a finger smugging on the surfaces, let dry a bit and put the part on. Been doing that since the '70 on all engines I had to work on back then to make the gaskets easier to get off the next time in there. I use the red hi temp stuff on the KLR side cases. Never a problem in the past 14 years on this bike.

Places that sell bulk tobacco should have Zippo or Ronson fluid. Evan Walmart should carry it. HOWEVER, the stuff is basically just Coleman white gas (naptha) at five times the price. Mark
