oil on the good foot

[speedlimit85]

And got oil in the cover right away. I am really disturbed.

I am buying 2 more to try and install better.

[speedlimit85]

I break cleaned the oil and old silicone

I sanded the edge of the speedy sleeve with 800 grit-wasn't sure which way to go- in out or back forth. Painters blue tape might work if done right.

Then put oil on the lip and silicone on the out part of the seal.

I hammered a piece of wood against the seal and then a big socket, left it overnight.

Yep, I think all conventional oils have paraffin wax but Pennzoil and QuakerSnot probably have the most.

[speedlimit85]

I got a good feeling about this one 65,000 mi

Phil, those scrambled eggs could be wax from the Pennsylvania oil.

[speedlimit85]

Had the airbox out changing the intake boots and it looked good to me.

The original seal is unavailable- even splitting the cases would not fix it.

The speedy sleave looked ok to me but it might get a groove like the crankshaft did from the seal over many miles.

I'm not a mechanic like you guys but am keepin this bike running great with y'all helping here.

That looks delicious.

[bikerphil]

Hey Phil, yours is still good? How many miles?

Still good, I did the repair about a year and a half ago, probably around 15K miles. I didn't use a repair sleeve.

Hey Eric, If it starts leaking again, I would verify that the breather element inside the air box isn't plugged up. They can get pretty nasty with this Florida humidity.

[DEEBS11]

Looks good. Hope it works. Hey Phil, yours is still good? How many miles?

[speedlimit85]

no room for tape. I did the best I could.

[DEEBS11]

I just ordered 2 of those Viton single lip seals. Thanks for the tip. I will tell you how it turns out. Probably in April. Too much salt for the ole XS around here at this time.

[speedlimit85]

may try teflon tape

[DEEBS11]

That was actually the picture of the repair done at the time. I believe it is leaking on the crankshaft surface like yours.

[speedlimit85]

I cannot this leak. Is it on the inner or outer edge?

[DEEBS11]

This picture is not the greatest but it looks like there is a little room to wrap some 3M black tape around and make a tail that you could pull on to get it out, no?

[DEEBS11]

Ya, that looks better. I think FKM is Viton. I think I will try this part also. If you sand that surface I would used 1500 or higher grit wetted with oil.
