putting back together crankcase (sealant location)
« on: September 19, 2016, 04:01:45 PM »
Just curious to exactly where hondabond is needed. Red is where I pretty sure i need it but the green is questionable. Anybody have any insight to where hondabond is critical?

The 750 is a wet clutch, right? Then I think you're good but I would also add a little bit on each crank bearing tower around the bolt holes. If not, oil can wick down the crank bolts and leak. I think I heard of some people adding Hondabond to the heads of the crank bolts to help avoid this.

Adding Hondabond to the green areas won't hurt anything, though.

Here is my 550 so you have an idea.

yes to all your green and pink areas.
just be careful to really light around the crank stud holes.  Too much there can clog the oiling channels of your crank bearings.
