    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm doing my valve's on my 650. The service guy at my local dealer said to use some Yamabond on them. The part's guy said he has always put them in dry. No sealer needed. But when I told him the service guy said to use Yamabond, he sold me some Yamabond #4. It says it is "semi drying". Is this something that I want to use. If not, what do you recommend. Thanks.
 
I use threebond 1104 (or 1194) on them. it appears to be the same as yamabond #4 from what I can find.

Yamabond will only work on Yamahas.

Actually laughed out loud!

I use Honda oil in a Yamaha..:hand:

The last moons I did didnt get any "sealer" at all.
But they were new. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.:-\\\
The used ones on the 850 leak, no sealer.:rolleyes:
 
The main thing I'm worried about here is it says it's "SEMI DRYING". That sounds kinda like something that shouldn't be mixing with my oil. But what the hell. I'm goin for it.
 
You won't harm anything, and it is fairly easy to remove when you go to change the valve cover gasket.

C'mon guy! You made me snort pizza outta my nose! :D

I usually use a thin smear of gasket sealer on the curved part of the half-moons. This last bunch I installed with the lip on the inside. Since I use a Real Gasket, I tapped them into the head with a small hammer and a straight piece of wood to seat them a little.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Only on full moons and then only if you are very hairy.
Permatex black works well and is easily removed.
