wich type of silicone to seal the stator wire ?
I had to remove the stator cover on my KLX 2013. My welder fixed it after i craked it in a crash!!!! . So now, i see in the service manual, that they are mentioning to put silicone around the stator wire that goes ttrough the stator cover. Wich type of silicone should i put? Construction silicone? gasket silicone? Thanks

If you have access to Permatex gasket products, I'd suggest either UltraBlack or UltraGrey. Clean the grommet/wires with some spray brake cleaner and then apply a dab on the harness and install. Let the RTV dry/cure overnight and no leaks.

Nice, I'm glad you got it fixed. I'm Curious and would like to know what kind of weld (Tig, Mig) was used and the rod/wire that worked. This is good info!
Addendum- You all are AWESOME! I learn so much good stuff on here, THANKS!

I’ve cracked magneto covers before. There’s a two part product for aluminum that even sets/hardens when oil is present. I think it’s called aluminaseal. I’ve never tried to weld cast aluminum, I know it’s tricky requiring a lot of preheating. Sorry for the smart *** comment since the op asked about silicone sealer. A local fabricator by the name of Rob North (google his name he’s a English road racer that can fabricate some very cool stuff) who warned me welding a cast aluminum cyl head coolant spigot in place, the cast aluminum can seem to evaporate if your not careful.
