    XSive Crossing country in need

    I am working my way back to NC from CO and have developed a bad oil leak from my right side cover. Any one in KS between CO and Topeka able to find a shaft seal and be able to help replace it?
    In Goodland now, heading east stopping every 100.

      Looking for the right crankcase shaft seal. Latest stop shows no significant amount of loss, but it is dripping.

        The kick start shaft? We are passing woodland right now headed to Colorado. If you Google Yamaha dealers where you are they should have that seal.

          It is the seal under the stator on the right side of the engine.

            Ok.Are you sure it's the crank seal or is it the o ring on the oil galleyat the alternator cover holds in. If it's just th o ring it'll be a pretty easy fix.
            If it's the crank seal it is supposed to be replaced with the cases split.
            There is a lip on the outside of the seal that fits into a groove in the cases.
            There is an after market seal that can be just driven in but I have seen them get blown back out
            Ill see if I can get the dimensions. You should be able to find one at any auto parts house.

                This thread has seal dimensions and part #s, hope it's helpful. FWIW, I developed a similar leak on the left side a couple years ago on the way to XSSE in NC, was visiting some friends in SC prior to the rally start. I probably put 1,200 miles on the XJ after the leak started, just kept a close watch on the oil level, and then fixed it when I got back home to NY. Good Luck!

                    I replaced the o-ring a few weeks ago. When I take the cover off, there is oil up near the shaft, can't really see all the way up. We made it 600 miles today and lost only a little bit of oil overall. When I started the thread, there was a large amount that came out all at once, then it seemed to slow down. I think I will make it the last 1000 home. Will order a seal when I get home, along with a rear tire and mufflers.

                    Thanks a ton guys! As always, great forum.

                      Home again

                      Made it home safe and sound. Leaked about a quart from NC to CO.
                      Damage done:
                      Right side crankshaft needs replaced
                      New rear tire
                      New exhaust/mufflers

                      Great trip overall. 4,000 miles in 10 days.
