    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey all,

I had some tranny issues a while back and am about to button everything back up. In checking my clymer manual it doesn't mention sealing the two case halves any place that I can find?! It says to stick 'em back together and torque certain bolts in a certain order. The only mention of any kind of sealant I can find is later where it says "Apply a thin film of Suzuki Bond No.4 approximately 1 in. on each side of the crankcase seams." But this is after the case halves have been torqued and is referring to installing the stator cover.

Thanks guys, I just don't want to have to pull thing thing twice if I can help it!

I used a thin bead of RTV around the whole mating surface, probably the black variety, on the couple of cases I've split. No leaks to date.
 
RTV, three bond, Yamabond, Kawabond - all are suitable but use sparingly and don't go within about 1/8 in of the bearing edges.
Keep about the same distance away from any oil galleries passing through the joint surfaces too.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I had always heard the RTV was a no no when it comes to cases?, I do think that I have heard of Yamaha bond before now that you mention it. May have to make a stop by a stealership this week.
