lincster Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hey guys, At Glamis this weekend, I noticed I am getting some oil coming out of the seal that goes around the shifter shaft that goes into the engine. I thought I have read that these aren't too hard to replace. Any ideas on how to get it fixed? We are going back to the dunes next weekend and I want to be able to take my bike. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitchenBanshee Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 It's easy!! 1. Buy a new seal 2. Drain Oil 3. Take footpeg, shifter, and side cover off 4. Take a drywall screw and screw it into the the seal. (Directly between the case and the shift shaft) The screw will penetrate the plastic/rubber seal and then hit the case on the other side. As you screw in the screw it will cause the seal to slide away from the case! 5. Clean the shifter shaft 6. Put a light coat of grease on the shifter shaft and slide the new seal into place 7. I used a socket extension (I know it's not the right tool, but hey it works) to lightly tap the seal into place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
