Just "Wet Look Tyre Shine" in a aerosol can, about $2-4 from auto parts store or cheap shop (think u might call them nickel n dime stores over there??). I think its just a silicone based spray, safe on rubber and plastic. Just spray it on, leave a minute, then give it a light wipe with a rag just to get the spray on evenly or else the plastic comes up patchy. It slowly absorbs into any rubber or plastic parts, doesnt act of a dust magnet, is cheap and doesnt affect paint work. Great to use on engine after flushing/washing down, doesnt affect rubber hoses like kerosene based sprays (WD40 etc).

Active ingredient would appear to be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydimethylsiloxane

Any info on the manufacturer? Manufacturer's web site?

I presume that ingredient list is from the material safety info for the product. Now to find similar product in my part of the world

Btw, these days cheap stores in USA and Canada are often called Dollar Stores. And there are tens of thousands of them across America.

From elsewhere on the web;
All tyres contain anti ozonant which works its way to the surface of the tyre
When it hits that, it causes "blooming" aka tyre browning

Tyre dressings (whether spray or gel) will contain one of these

Water based (polydimethylsiloxane) silicone or solvent based (Dimethal silicone)
The solvent one is a greasy clear liquid, the water based is mily white

Unfortunately many bulk industrial brand tyre shines are solvent based and the solvent silicone causes dry rot and leaching of the UV blockers in the tyres...

The manufacturers website is http://mmpindustrial.com.au/

what you posted about solvent based sprays (be it WD40, tyre shines, etc) is true from my experience. KTM motorcycle radiator hoses suffer badly from exposure to these sprays, hence why i use the waterbased now on rubber.

1st impressions of the water based sprays they dont work as well as solvent based, but once you get the hang of using them its all good. Water based needs repeated even applications. Will go streaky if not evenly applied.

Obviously the anti-corrosion properties of water based sprays are not as good as a kerosene based spray (i still use WD40 on any corrosion prone areas), but as a general spray over the engine after use i find it works well (on motorcycles as well as skis).

Dimensions and pics for the adaptor plate to fit Factory B pipe to polaris twin "aka Octane"

[hills1106]

its 18mm thick, not 81....lol

[hills1106]

Hope that helps lugs?? if you have all the gear its not hard to make. I got this for $312 from polaris parts monster. Basicly use a recesed allen screw to mount adapter to cylinders, then use normal bolts to bolt manifold to adapter. I think if u patterned out the Polaris gaskets on 1 side of alloy block, then put the yamaha gkt on other side and u would have to hand port the adapter to match up polaris to yamaha ports (even the genuine part is very roughly ported/milled).

Good info, I just did a ton of checking and comparing on the 700 and 777's. 98 and up twins all use the same carbs including the Octane. Octanes have 140 mains all other pretty much have 142's. They all use the same intake manifold and all use the same exhaust manifold except the Octane. I have been reading on here and everyone says you just need the adapter plate and a B pipe. Lucky you got the Yamaha exhaust manifold already. That's another $398. Looking at the parts diagram there is no way a B pipe will bolt on a Polaris exhaust manifold. I did the math and it would cost me at least $1,500 to try this having to buy all new parts. Good Luck can't wait for your results.

Can you get a couple more pictures of that trim set up? Which exit nozzle are you using?

[hills1106]

The trim and nozzle are all standard fit, in aus we got the "international" spec which had the trim, fogging kit and electric bilge pump as std. Will post some more pics shortly

If the nozzles have part numbers, post them up
