main shaft seal 1986 1100

[jcd]

had a few problems with leaking main output shaft seal .

have put a new seal in but it looks like the collar is tighter on one side of the seal, tryed to measure it and it looks like half to 1 mm difference from one side to another.

mainshaft not sitting center?   it’s a new Suzuki seal taped in as far as it will go and collar is new also ???

Would sort of indicate the bearing behind is fubar'd if shaft not centralised?

[jcd]

bearing seems ok, mechanic thought it was ok. Has a slight movement. but then again why would it be closer to the bottom edge of seal than the top

Slight movement?????  should be no moivement at all, did your "mechanic" take the chain off and give it a good jiggling about?????

if there is a mm differance then somthing is wrong..

Slight movement is measured with a indicator !
