fastrthnu Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 I keep losing extreme amounts of oil somewheres and the past few rides, the bike has been runing like shit and rasping bad in certain places, especially on the top. I cant find a leak so Im assuming its the clutch side crank seal. I already have a new one, but question is,.... Can I swap these without splitting? I really dont want to do that again already. Quote
87sheerips Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 You gotta split the cases man, sorry! Are you puffin smoke out of the clutch side exhaust bad? and does it smell like shit?? Quote
fastrthnu Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Posted January 28, 2008 You gotta split the cases man, sorry! Are you puffin smoke out of the clutch side exhaust bad? and does it smell like shit?? Its was smokin out both sides pretty close to equal. As far as smell, I dont recall. I use castor927 so its usually sweet, but I dont remember it smelling off. Only the people tryin to race me would know. :cool: Dammit! Thats the only thing I can think of though. I guess Im going to prep for another motor removal. Im frikin more hot about it too, cos Im supposed to race next weekend. Im sure I can get the old seal out without a split. I was just wondering if I heat it up or something if I could cheat it in. I guess not? Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 yup, prolly a crank seal. might as well replace all the seals if you have to tear down. Quote
sheerider1026 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 have to split it!! no way past, the seal has a lip that seats into the cases, i would not try to cheat it, may cause more headache!. god luck bro! Quote
Bansh-eman Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 i have heard guys that have got news ones in without spliting, but if your pressed for time, do it right. you run the chance of screwing up your seal by not spliting the cases and then your just back at ground zero. you can get it all taken down and back together in one afternoon if you got the tools Quote
Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 I've replaced my clutch side crank seal with out splitting the case. And knock on wood I have not had any problems yet. It is a pain in the a$$ to get the old seal out though. And you have to be very careful when reinstalling the seal. Quote
