Way easier than on my old XL500R, the seal is installed from inside the crankcase, which had to be split once i removed the engine from the frame and stripped it down to the last nut and bolt. This was after i had pulled it to pieces a few months earlier to replace the counterbalance chain...

Good vid. Yer Suzuki and the JIS screws many would attempt with standard screwdriver lol . Good tip with changing the bolts to allen key. Also good to see you up the safety with wearing a pair of steal cap thongs for the video.

Back again Curtis, got the stripped screws out and rethreaded it so all good their mate thanks for the advice,but im currently having trouble getting the new seal into it as the previous owner had done zero maintenance on it causing the previous seal to come out in pieces. I already cleaned up,and I would like some advice on getting the new seal in please.

@@SlurpBadurp nice work mate. The new one should honestly push in with your thumbs or at least you can get it started in the correct position with your thumbs. There should be some resistance pushing it in so you may need to use the back side of a large socket against the seal and gently tap it in with a hammer. Just re-watch from 10:30 onwards it should explain everything you’ll need to know. Just make sure if you do decide to use a little bit of lubricant to install the seal only use a very small amount, you really want a good tight seal so it doesn’t leak👍

yeah just watched that video....I usually buy my bearings and seals for anything at a bearing dealer only....top quality...in fact the OEM number on the bearing is the same number on the other bearing.....never used and never will trust a bearing from a place that sells all kinds of bike stuff...never know where it comes from. FAG or Boston Gears are the big names around here. Great video....when are you heading for the Simpaon trip?

Yeah mate solid advice I’ll be doing the same from now on as well. We are planning to get back out there in a couple of months the Simo is shut during summer as temps get up to 50 degrees Celsius so they seem it too dangerous for tourists throughout that period. Not long though.

@@SlurpBadurp hey mate, I started with a screw removal kit which tbh was shit. The screws were in that tight the tool snapped off in the head of the screw making it even hard to get out. I ended up getting a drill bit 1 size smaller then the actual screw thread and just carefully drilled it out. This only left a small amount of screw metal in the original thread which I then tapped allowing me to use the original thread in the engine case. Hope this helps man🤙

Only a casual mention of the nut holding the sprocket coming undone, this is a BIG problem in my experience. Thread lock a must, blue Loctite doesn’t do it; it has to be the red.

Yeah mate go for it can’t imagine would hurt but tbh if you have installed the locking washer, put thread lock on the nut and fastened it tightly I don’t think it would really matter. Just my 2 cents👍

@@anotherguyonabike4726yeah but like nowhere says to loctite the nut. the locking washer should take care of that. the loctite fix is for the sprocket wearing down the splines, has nothing to do with the nut coming loose. sorry so many video tutorials forget to mention info or give wrong info, better to read online.

so i read some more and the "loctite fix" does not apply to the countershaft nut, but it's recommended to loctite all fasteners anyway. the locking washer on mine was shredded so would've been good insurance
