Gasket-maker question

[Elimax]

Good morning, folks.

I've got a question. When bolting the rear differential (the one that attaches to the back wheel) to the unit that holds the driveshaft, the Yamaha service manual says to use a Yamabond quick gasket maker.

I guess the best option would be the new Yamabond 6B???

Is this okay to use, or are there better options?

Thanks very much!

Normally, I don't use any sealer.

didn't read that in the aftermarket manual nor did I do it either. its not like the swingarm is completely enclosed. nothing shoudl begetting in there anyways except maybe a little grease eh?

the seal on the diff side of the driveshaft should seal up the rear diff i believe.

I wonder why the serive manual says to use it then?

I'm gonna use it anyway. Couldn't hurt.

Permatex #2 is also pretty good stuff if you don't have a Yammy dealer close by.
