jcd Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 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 ???

Gixer1460 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Would sort of indicate the bearing behind is fubar'd if shaft not centralised? Quote Link to comment
jcd Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 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 Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) 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..

If you check that kind of thing that is. Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted Monday at 05:35 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:35 PM the output shaft on my old GSXR1100 years ago was very wobbly !!!! when i stripped the cases the needle roller bearing (at the other end of the shaft) had collapsed and all chewed up, that give the shaft shit loads of play and caused the ball roller behind the sprocket to split the outer race in two !!!!!! also fecked the shaft Quote Link to comment

The output shaft bearing isn't a shell, if that is what you mean.. its a large roller, and what do you mean by cases being "proper"??? 1 Quote Link to comment
