Crank Seals

[Diablo007]

A while back I was trying to figure out which way the seals were supposed to face on my RZ350.   RTFM...yup in the manual it stated the printed side faces out, the lettering faces out.  I'm guessing this is standard practice.

Oh, regarding Yamabond...Yamaha states to not use it on seals.  A friend and respected tuner told to that I should use it.  I'm kind of curious to how many recommend which.

Hondabond was the only way that I could get the forward blanking plug to stay in my RD400c. But, that's the only place that I used it.

ive used it, VERY sparingly on seals that don't have a locating lip that think may be an issue w out it. never had a problem, that's just my experience. I've heard both, and technically you shouldn't need to use it.

M, your post made things click in my head. The advice was to use it on the plugs for the transmission, and possibly other seals w/o a locating lip.
