Wallynut Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Long story short, I got rear ended hard enough to bend my axle(left side) and carrier. Had to ride it out several miles. Went as slow as possible, but noticed the counter shaft seal was leaking once stopped. Sprockets and chain are trashed. Pulled the spocket off, don't notice any side to side play, but in and out is about 1/4". Is that normal? Is play taken up when tightening down the counter shaft sprocket? I know that I at least have to replace my seal, just want to know if I should plan on splitting the cases to replace anything inside. Would hate to replace all the parts, start riding, just to find out ifsomething else is screwed. With bike running, the shaft seems to run true, don't know of any way to test for run-out. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallynut Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Thanks for the reply. It just might be wear from normal riding. Even though I'm still stock on the pistons, bike has lots of miles on it from running fire roads. I'm just gonna put in a new seal and replace what got damaged from being hit. Funny how my bike has a sliced tire, bent axle, carrier, swingarm, and chain guard, but the other bike had no damage other then a bent bumper. Oh well, time to look for replacement parts.
