Hi fellas,
Quick question...stripping my bike down for the conversion
I took my throttle bodies the other day..& I've noticed a crack in the housing where the cables exit ..barely noticeable unless you give it a prod...I'm thinking a careful super glue job should be enough to keep water out when washing etc.
Would I be right in thinking that...or is there a better fix...or anything I should be aware of ?
It's probably not a crack, there is a small heat shrunk section that covers the wires as they exit the sensor.
You've just reminded me the one on my SPS is slightly torn so needs a dab of glue to keep it in place.
It's just underneath that cable shroud hooli..definitely cracked..
I've seen loads of of bandit sensors a lot worse than mine...and was thinking...why havnt they been repaired...is there a reason why they havnt been glued.
I,ll do a careful superglue job on it ..should be fine
I,ll take a couple of photos of the bike too...I said I'd document the build for you lads..
Ahh gotcha, aye I can't see a reason a bit of glue wouldn't work either then.
I give it a prod to see if the crack went all the way round.....if it didnt...it does now :whatever:
My SPS is just like that, I keep forgetting to do owt about it.
A bit of gorilla glue and a wet finger hooli...jobs a good'un
I would use something a bit more substantial than superglue as that's not waterproof, araldite or similar.
Hi mick...its gorilla glue I've used....just done a quick Google because I wasnt sure if it is waterproof....turns out it actually is waterproof which is cool.....otherwise I'd of had to re-do it with something that was
Gorilla glue is fine. Just keep it out of your hair. ;)
just my thinking i would use a little bit of sikaflex can get it in black , it will glue it together , be waterproof and can to the shape and smoothed to suit the plug.
I would use gasket maker. Waterproof, sticks well and flexible :cheers:
I prefer Car Glass Glue ... waterproof, black and great strong
Depending on the type of material I would bond it with a suitable Cyanoacrylate then put some adhesive heat shrink over it ,put the harness into the correct shape and shrink it that will give it a bit of protection and will definitely be waterproof ,that would be my solution FWIW
