Micky Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Need some tips to replace the final drive oil seal. Not to long ago someone posted some excellent pics of a dismantled final drive. I like to see them again, but cant find it now. Thanks, Micky 2000 1100RT Shoreline, WA Link to comment

Micky Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 I changed the oil seal today. Total cost $ 21.42 , that is the seal and an o ring. Total time was less than three hours. It was a very simple job . 3 k miles ago I had a very weird problem, a piece of rock fell into the space between the disc and the final drive housing. It made a lot of noise, I thought first it is the crown bearing. We were on a trip in the Sierras, 15 K mile from home. So I took the wheel, the caliper, the rotor off in a motel parking lot, and cleaned out the broken up pieces of stone. But it made a damage to the seal, as the rock was milled to pieces between the disc with the ABS ring and the housing cover. The bike has 44 K miles, and the crown bearing is just perfect. I use Amsoil 75W 140 synthetic gear lube, and the lubricant looked clean as honey after 10 K miles. Mickey Shorelie, Wa 2000 1100 RT Link to comment
