On my bike i notice that on the brackets for the water hoses and around the sprag clutch inspection cover theres a silicone type sealant (except its black) all around the joins.

Does anyone know what its called, or if its some special type of automotive sealant as i need to buy some more Thumbs Up

You probably don't want to use *water based* construction sealant for your coolant hoses & water pump etc... Rolling Eyes

I didnt literally buy the same one - I just didnt think it would be called simply 'black silicone', i though it may have some industry name that im not familiar with, hence the question.

So i found one called Hylosil which is made for that use, but labelled as simply 'silicone sealant'. I'd only previously encountered them for use in bathrooms and things so i thought one for use on cars/bikes would totally different.

Hi
Yes you can buy black silicone sealant from hardware shops, you may get it at hombase or b&q but you will be shafted on price, dont use the water based shit.
