leaking case

[hammertime#205]

I installed a new seal behind the front sprocket and it is still leaking.
Is it possible that I did not but it in wright or it could have ripped or something? If not can you but stop leak in it? what oil should i use in the case as well?

i wouldn't run stop leak in it.


sounds like you probably ripped the seal on install, verify that's where the leak is. but sounds like you need another try at a seal

Mine had the same problem, but it was leaking from the clutch cover. It won't hurt riding it as long as it has enough oil. Make sure you bring extra.

A few tricks here; get an oring which fits tight inside the groove in the output shaft. If the seal was torn it was torn on those splines.

Try to wiggle the shaft while the seal is out. If you have any movement, you need to replace the output bearing.

Inspect shaft for burrs after removing old seal , use fine emery cloth or crocus cloth to smooth/polish. Clean shaft, tape with masking tape to protect new seal. Pack backside of seal with grease, put little on shaft. Install.

Sometimes cheap seals are just that. If there is a groove in shaft post it up or PM me for a fix.I:I

Be sure to use something big enough to drive seal evenly, socket or pipe. Big enough to be driving on metal fully.
