is it... ok... i thought it's lower temp as stated from the packaging that i bought... anyway islandwide no more black liao... put in centre still very thick leh.. i even use my fingers to spread it like nutella on bread!

[StarWarsII]

bugo the red silicone that u all bought is like "gasket" maker as it says, doesn't quite sound like the silicone "adhesive" that is stated on the instruction. though it withstands 650F, but it still sounds more like just a sealant than glue. Some more there's this print that says "easy to disassemble". -.-

[gasgasx]

i bought the recommended Permatex 16B from Jurong Point DIY shop, basement 1.

 

so those of u wanna get a tube of the recommended stuff as per say from the instruction can get it from the above mention shop.

 

make sure u clean the cfc case with contact cleaner i.e those spray for video heads and stuff, before application to rid the surface of oil. pls use that to clean ur bike surface oso before application.

 

use ur finger to spread the silicone even all over the plate before u apply it.

 

let the plate cure overnight.

 

don't worry abt excess that come oozing out from the edges. that can be trim off with a penknife after 15 or after a day of curing

 

the silicone can be cleaned off your hands with generous application of the contact cleaner.

 

hope this help.

[ryanC]

oh no! then how? take out and repaste? so far it's not easy to take it out though.... well let's just wait and see whether it drops or not...

bro...better be safe....later fly off when u riding in expressway then jia lat... :cry:

[nebulaz]

I guessed its difficult to get it out once its cured..maybe with a fine size, wire like piano wire as suggested in TT. Nahh..I tink dun worry la...like i said ,u do swee swee on CFC guards sekali kena other side case area ,,,sianz..just enjoy ur ride la. bro..hhehe

[ryanC]

it is difficult in fact... i mean if it's a sealant then this sealant must be good! don't know lah.. it doesnt seem to have signs that it'll move.. i tried a lot of times using force.. unless it rains thinner, if not i doubt it'll fall off... anyway i just checked on the website. this thing for gasket is known as an adhesive sealant. most silicone adhesive also acts as sealant so should be no worries.

[ronnyz]

i too try using force to take it out but its difficult

so dun think it will drop off.

 

jus keep on riding it till something happens?

[StarWarsII]

ya true nothing happens is good. anyway i dun think it will just fall off if u just ride it ard everyday also.. without crashing it i mean

 

err ya silicone adhesive act as sealant ya but converse might not be true u know.. ho ho

[R.C.]

Ronny, why your signature shows a Y2K DRZ? I know they are good no need like that hahaha!

[ryanC]

i'm utterly disgusted R.C. anyway i'm gonna get the Hel brake lines from vector 1 on thursday, anyone interested to come along? will be heading down there in the noon. or anyone interested in getting as well? besides that, R.C. can help me check with ah biao whether how much will he charge me for installation of the lines? my first pay check gone just like that...

Damn fed up today. send my DRZ to guan hoe for warranty claim on the leaking right fork. they ordered the seal and brought in the new one like say 2 hrs later and so the mech strip and clean my fork. during reassembly, the mech noticed that the fork seal and dust cover they ordered are for DRZ-S model which is wrong. So check with the person who ordered and she dun even know that my bike is the SM model all along. so call the spare parts supplier side dun even know whether got stock. ask me to go and do what I want and come back later so that they can bring my old seal to go to the supplier to check. so I went off and call back about 3pm and they told me that no stock in sg, so got to order from overseas and the wait is 3 weeks to one month, at the mean time they will fixed back my old seal and dust cover back onto my bike. just went to collect back my bike and wasted one whole freaking day. Really damn freaking fed up

 

WTF:mad: :mad:
