Yamabond discontinued

[Lakeman]

I went to my local Yamaha dealer today and asked for a tube of Yamabond. I bought the last tube they had. The parts guy selling it to me said that Yamaha has discontinued it. I bought the last one he said. I asked what is going to replace it and he said he didn’t know, but Honda sells the same stuff. Has anyone else heard about Yamabond being discontinued and what will replace it?

:arms: :arms: :arms:

My understanding is that it's the exact same thing as 3bond 1211 silicon.

Jetskier thanks,
Well I just paid $8.78 for a tube a 3.5 oz tube. I wonder if your stuff is any cheaper? Always looking to cut cost. I have to buy gas. I quit eating last week so I could ride this week.

no its not the same as 1211
but it is the same as hondabond

I have some ThreeBond 1104 that is the same stuff. I bought it years ago when building a Kawi motor and bought the Yamabond when dooing my Yami motor. Looks and smells the same.??

I have a half used tube of Yamibond, I could post it on Ebay as a hard to find discontinued item and get $100 for the tube.:Banane01: :Banane01:

3bond 1211, hondabond, yamibond are all 1 in the same. :biggrin:

Yamabond 4 replacement is Threebond 1194

Good thing too, cause I just bought a tube of 1194 and wasn't sure about it til I got home.

Actually 1194 was a suggested alternative untill the reformulated yamabond 4 was introduced. The new replacement has been available for a few months.

I just bought a tube of Yamabond 4 for $10 at my local dealer. They wanted $21 for a tube of 3bond 1211. Screw that!
I've used both many times in the past and they both work just as well for me.

Be Careful on using old 1211 as I just used a old tube I had from last year on my kids 650 cases and it took a week to dry, whereas usually 1211 is dry in 24 hours.

 

[vitaly]

The doobond is the cheapest one.

How long can you keep an opened tube of Yamabond for before it goes bad ?
I have one that's easily 4 years old but still looks OK.

 

[sflsurfrider]

are tigerbond or polaribond any good?
