Leftside Cover

[MotorPlow]

Hello,
I just replaced my Starter Clutch (& Rotor), Checked the Balancer Nut and Replaced the Shift Shaft Seal under the left side cover. Amazingly, the Stator looks just as good as it did 6,000 miles ago. The Rotor and Starter Clutch I put in appeared to already have the bolt fix done. The bolts weren't much longer than normal, but they did appear to be peened over. I did remove one of the bolts and it was very very hard to get out. I peened over the bolts a little more than they were, but can't remember (I guess I am getting older) if I torqued the bolt I took out back to what it is supposed to be... (I guess I will see when I redo the clutch fix in the future).

Any way, anyone know how long Threebond 1104 needs to set before putting oil in the crankcase? It doesn't say on the tube anywhere.

Thanx,
~MP

I haven't used the threebond, but if i remember right, i think it was Kia who said it was the same stuff as the yama/hondabond, which i use.  if so, i added oil right away, after finishing the bike back together, but not putting my tools away, & have no leaks, but i'm impatient.
Of course 24 hours would be better, but it might not matter.

lots of help huh? lol

if you use the Cometic gasket, no sealer is needed. And it is reusable! Tdub

(Y'all know Tdub is making half this stuff up just so the rest of us poor saps can go "Geeze, where can I get some of that Goopity Goop air filter cleaner like Tryce uses")? ?:o

;D ;D

That's it Tdub! i'm making you write a column on all the stuff we can't have/get/find/afford, lol

TDub,
I didn't see a left side cover listed on Cometic's website. I assume that you have them custom made with Cometic. Does this mean that Cometic already has the "set up" for the Left Side Cover from your previous orders? Just curious for the future...

Tdub,
Thanx.
Are you married? Have you ever thought about painting your bike in a rainbow colored scheme?

(Sorry, just a small inside joke).

PS: I contacted Cometic and their left side cover gaskets are only $10.95 (I assume plus shipping) - www.cometic.com

I've been using Threebond 1104 for the last three years.  It is just like the Yamabond 4 or Hondabond.  Color is just a little bit different but seems to be the same stuff.  I gave it 16 hours to seal & it seems to be holding fine.  I've had that left cover off 4 times in the last 2 years so it never gets tons of time between to see how long the seal lasts.

Thanks, Tdub, for the Cometic part #s.  I'll be ordering some of the gaskets just to have around.  Will be nice to reuse them!
