Why would anyone use silicone? Sealants are the cancer of every single garage! The easy way for those too lazy to do the work properly.

Yes, simple stuff, doesn't have to be perfect.
EDIT: Doesn't have to be perfect in this case. If, for instance, you make a gasket for between the two halves of the crank case, then you have to make sure you have the right thickness of the paper. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Yes, if it's specified by the manufacturer, then it is alright.
But the horrors/stupidity I've seen over the years is just ridiculous. I bought a motorcycle from a lad who glued the carburetor bowl to the carburetor because he torn the seal. He used the multipurpose red silicone, which shall not be exposed to the petrol nor heat, and as it deteriorated it first clogged up the jets and then the bowl started to leak. Of course it didn't leak when I was buying it.
My fix was a proper seal, made by a specialist and I paid maybe £2 for it, not sure right now, and guess what, it worked.
Then I bought a motorcycle where the previous owner glued the exhaust silencer to the rest of the exhaust system with the very same red sealant. I also have seen someone using the exact same red sealant instead of the head gasket, completely messing up all the coolant and oil ways into the head. And I could go on with such horror stories all day long... ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Old Thread Alert!
