    Hi Guys,
    Can you help identify the glue I need to stick my vave cover gasket in place whilst I refit the cover? Tried without any glue & it just doesn't work & it mentions it in the Haynes manual but doesn't say what type to use.
    Bike is a 900RRW & I have just checked the clearances by the way.
    Also what recommendations do people have for the 4 half circle bits of the gasket which say to use some sort of sealant when installing?

    Thanks,
    Gary
