Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 It's a plug for one of the shift fork shafts. ... The shaft comes out the other side, so just get that cleaned up and dried and get some kind of sealer onto it. In time, get yourself another plug, 'dig' that one out and put the replacement in with a touch of sealer around the outside. I replaced my one recently. ... I had some RZ cases apart and with the shift shafts out, so it was easy just to knock the plug out from the inside. bfs got his Clymer. Rare. Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Posted July 11, 2005 so all it is is a plug? like when i look into it there is another rod type deal that isnt the complete diam of the hole and thats where the oil is coming from. is that supposed to be there? so where do i get one of these plugs from? can i make one or could i get one from a local hardware store or do i have to order it direct from a dealer?

Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Yip, just a plug. Sounds like you don't need to dig the old plug out. ... It's gone! ... That's the shift fork shaft that you can see. I guess you could order one from a dealer or get someone to take one out of a busted case. Mine was missing aswell and was just plugged up with silicone. ... The shaft can't come out that side 'cos there's a circlip on the shaft just inside the case (p184 ). Rare. Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 so thats why it leaks oil then right? its nothing major then? thanks for all the help rare Quote
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Yip, that's all it was. ... Re-seal it and you're done. Rare. Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 schaaaaweeeeeeer thanks alot rare. what if i just put silicone over that hole for now? will that damage anything until i can go and get one of those plugs next time i go to the dealer taht is 3 hours away Quote
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 what if i just put silicone over that hole for now? will that damage anything until i can go and get one of those plugs ...391297[/snapback] Silicone will be fine for now. ... You're not going to damage anything. Just make sure it's really dry so you get a good seal. Rare. Quote
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 391503[/snapback] That's what was done on mine when I got it, and it stayed like for 6 months without leaking. ... To be honest, I didn't know what the silicone was there for until I got some busted RZ cases, and then I just put a plug in from them. I agree it's , but it's a temporary fix that works. Rare. Quote
