captainslackdabber Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 They seem fairly crap and I'm thinking of using silicone or blue hylomar instead. Has anyone else tried this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser_david Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 In a word....No. I've 2001 TXT200 and gasket works fine with a light coat of waterproof grease on both surfaces. Just nip it up..not too tight as plastic cover. No idea if same gasket & cover on yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatchman Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 i fit a flywheel weight and dont bother with the the gasket, just use a good silicone and make sure its spread all over the edge of the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read through some of the threads on here it seems moisture ingress is a common problem with this cover. Silicone it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainslackdabber Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi G-G. It was your thread on the subject that prompted me to check. I'm glad I did, it was not pretty in there. Given it a good clean out and if it's sealed properly it should be no bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
