    Suzuki bond 1215 local substitute

    Suzuki bond 1215 local substitute

    reinstalling the stator cover says to use Suzuki bond 1215 what would be a local substitute?
    1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
    1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
    1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice

      If you absolutely have no alternative but RTV, use verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry tiny amounts -- only the very thinnest of films you can see through, and only a teensy amount needed around the grommet. (Install the gasket dry, or coat the gasket in grease first so it's easy to remove later.)

      Never let things get to the point where RTV boogers can squeeze out, break off, and block oil passages in the engine.

        1200 series Threebond products are RTV. The 1100 series products are the gray liquid gasket material that many people relate with Yamabond/Suzukibond/etc.

        I agree that Permatex Ultra Gray/Blue/Black are a close substitute for 1215.

          You only need to apply it to the areas where the edges of the wire grommet meets the gasket and cover to ensure there are no gaps that oil can seep out of.
