Stator Cover Gasket Sealant

[LiBusa]

I'm replacing my scuffed up stator cover. What sealant should I use on the new gasket?

 

[Burger King]

None!

Use a little bit where the two cases seals to each other, that's it.

+1 There is no need to use any type of gasket sealer

Just make sure you follow the criss/cross tightening sequence and proper torque.. and you will be fine...

You don't need any sealant on a Neoprene gasket

I am bringing my bike in to the shop tomorrow to have them change the stator cover and put in a power command; How many lb. torgue do the bolts take? (Just in case!) Also, I have two brothers pipes on; anything I should know or ask when it comes to mapping for these pipes? Might be dump questions, but I do like to understand all this stuff, being a woman they think you don't want to know or can't possibly understand!

It's seven (7) ft. lbs. I snugged mine just a little more because at 7 it was seeping. I also used blue locktite on the bolts.

7 to 9 ft. lbs. will be fine.

7 to 9 ft. lbs. will be fine. No sealent on gasket. Paper thin so make sure it is in place.

I replaced the old gasket with a new one when I replaced my cover. No problems!!!
