Quick Question: Air filter sealing grease

Hi guys, what sort of grease is recommended to put on the edge of the standard airbox cover or dna stage 2 to ensure a good seal?

Does it have to be a special grease or can it just be anything, as long as it makes a good airtight seal?

If so, would I be able to use vaseline?

Thanks

Harry

You need a grease that will not melt when the bike is parked in the sun, vaseline is no good.

Any wheel bearing grease should do.

Just to point out if you are buying a DNA stage 2 air filter it comes packaged with a little pot of grease for this exact reason. If you are getting the DNA stage 2 its not an issue unless you want to reseal a standard side case. Then I dont think it matters much as the standard side case is alot more sturdy in construction than the rubberised DNA stage 2.

Yes it is to reseal a standard side case.
