Airbox to rubbers sealant

(1/3) > >>

Tazaud:
Hi everyone,

Noticed when fitting the airbox on the  cb400f that there is a sticky sealant residue around the rubbers where they connect to the airbox.
Is this something that is needed and if so where can it be purchased, or can a normal silicone sealant be used?

Thx in advance

No! There should not be any sealant on any joints on the intake side or carbs, there is a chance it can get into the motor and cause problems and damage. Whoever put it on in the first place needs their tools removing.

Tazaud:
Strange as I was the first person to ever take the airbox off from new. the bike has done less than 6k since new and the 2 previous owners are family members that wouldnt have even touched it.
There is definately something on there. its still tacky, almost like a greasy brown sealant.

Between carbs and inlet manifold?
Maybe something to help with assembly that doesn't come off easily?

Tazaud:
Its on all 5 rubbers where they connect to the black plastic airbox. the 4 that go to the carbs and the one that goes to the air filter (oval rubber)
