Cleaners, Degreasers and Solvents
Many chemicals are available to remove oil, grease and other residue from the motorcycle UTV.
Before using cleaning solvents, consider how they will be used and disposed of , particularly if they are
not water-soluble. Local ordinances may types of cleaning chemicals. Refer to Safer in this chapter.
Use brake parts cleaner to brake system components. Brake parts cleaner leaves no residue. Use
electrical contact cleaner is a powerful solvent used to remove fuel deposits and varnish from fuel
system components. Use this cleaner carefully, as it may damage finishes.
Most solvents are designed to be used with a parts washing cabinet for individual component
cleaning. For safety, use only nonflammable or high flash point solvents.
Gasket Sealant
Sealant is used in combination with a gasket or seal. In other applications, such as between
crankcase halves, only a sealant is used. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation when using a
sealant. Use extreme care when choosing a sealant different sealant based on its resistance to heat,
various fluids and its sealing capabilities.
A common sealant is room temperature vulcanization sealant, or RTV. This sealant cures at room
temperature over a specific time period. This allows the repositioning of components without damaging
gaskets.
Moisture in the air causes the RTV sealant to cure. Always install the cap as soon as possible
after applying RTV sealant. RTV sealant has a limited shelf life and will not cure properly if the shelf life
has expired. Keep partial tubes sealed and discard them if they have surpassed the expiration date.
Applying RTV sealant
Clean all old gasket residues from the mating surfaces. Remove all gasket material from the
mating surfaces. Remove all gasket material from blind threaded holes to avoid inaccurate bolt torque.
Spray the mating surfaces with aerosol parts cleaner and then wipe with a lint-free cloth. The area
must be clean for the sealant to adhere.
Apply RTV sealant in a continuous bead 2-3 mm (0.08-0.12 in.) thick. Circle all the fastener holes
unless otherwise specified. Do not allow any sealant to enter these holes. Assemble and tighten the
time frame recommended by the sealant manufacturer.
Gasket Remover
Aerosol gaskets remover can help remove stubborn gasket. This product can speed up the
removal process and prevent damage to the mating surface that may be caused by using a scraping
tool. Most of these types of products are very caustic. Follow the gasket remover manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
Thread locking Compound
A thread locking compound is a fluid applied to the threads of fasteners. After tightening the
fastener, the fluid dries and becomes a solid filler between the threads. This makes it difficult for the
