Maintenance, Servicing, and Mechanical / Re: airbox removal and install
« Last post by STJIM on Today at 02:01 pm »I would use a slight smear of silicon dielectric grease.
I used that on the air filter gasket surface, too. And I had a problem with the air filter sliding into the airbox when I did the valve adjust : it just didn't feel right and there is no way to visually check to see if the air filter was properly sealed after sliding it in the air box. So I secured the air filter to the holder with some small sheet metal screws before I slipped it in the air box. Felt a lot more "proper" after I did that.
