07 800R Rave Valves - Alternative to Drei Bond?

[datmony]

I have a 07 800 R. I took the Rave Valves out to clean them. I was going to assemble tonight only to find that the Drei Bond Silikon 2290 is dried up in the tube. Are there any alternative products that I could use instead? I will see if the doo dealer has some tomorrow but wondering if anyone has found an equivolent product that could be found at Napa or some other motorsports location. I have a Summit Racing in town, a polaris shop, and a few other choices too. Thanks in advance.

yep you could use ultra copper silicone i think that is what is called or actually you can just not use anything and the rave valves will still work properly.

Copper silicone works well. And while you may not initially notice a diff, using nothing is a BAD idea (lose efficiency).

Have FUN!

Where is silicone required on the R-valves?

Where the bellows attaches to the piston.
