oil on the good foot

[bikerphil]

That's good, put a little oil on the inner part of the seal before installing the new one. So if I understand correctly, the wrong seal was in the box marked 32x48x8?

[speedlimit85]

Yes. They are sending me the right one.

[bikerphil]

The numbers should be stamped on the seal 32 48 8. If the inner diameter is 30 on the one you installed, that would explain why the seal collapsed.

[speedlimit85]

Is this the wrong seal? the seal is 30x48x8 but the label is 32x48x8

[speedlimit85]

well, that's not right. I need a new one. I need to put it in right.

Awesome. I had just finished looking them up as well and you beat me to this post. I think that this should be something that should be posted permanently for future use.

Here is the link for the seal directly from O-rings and More...

Phil, do you have any idea what the exact part number was for those seals you have? Looks like a good source for them.

I bought them on eBay, here is the link....

1. Yes that oil drain hole is supposed to be there, I just checked my spare engine case and it has it too.
2. After you finish the job and everything is all good, then yes, you will then be a real bike mechanic.

Take that wrong size seal to a local bearing shop and tell them you need one with a 48MM outer diameter with all the other dimensions being the same (32X48X8). That one you have there is probably 45MM and for the other side of the bike.

If you can't find one anywhere, I have a few extra new ones, I could send you one.

Ready with replaced pick up coils...

[speedlimit85]

Partzilla has the same part # for both sides. Thanks man, I will look tomorrow.

2 questions. Is that small hole at the bottom of where the seal goes supposed to be there? Am I close to a real bike mechanic yet?

Check out the thread from the old site. Oil Seal - XS11.com Forums

By now you obviously know that the seal you need in no longer available from Yamaha. I was looking through some old posts and found this from BA80 better known as Greg. Don't see him too much around here lately but he did advise someone to order this part number some years ago. It may still be available. Can't hurt to try.

Phil may remember the post and thread on the old com site.

This is the wrong one. The dealer shop gave me the wrong one.
