Clutch activating rod seal

[davej]

when you pull the seal out make sure the little spring didn't fall out of the backside and still inside the case. 1 trick to keep the spring in place is to pack a little grease of your choice into the back of the seal over the spring to keep the spring in place. The spring keeps a little pressure on the rubber to make it seal around the shaft. No other sealer is needed

#11 oil seal (clutch shaft seal)?

Make sure you have it in the right way (there is a spring inside) and drive it in with a socket (12mm I think). If it's upside down or not fully seated it will pop up and leak oil again.

I am sure that it is the right way up, flat surface to the case insert, and I tapped it down with a socket.

Will redo it again today, just wasn't sure if it needed sealant as there is no mention of how to install it in the manual

I put a new rubber seal on the clutch activating rod which keeps running up the rod and then leaks oil.

Those that have replaced the seal before, have you used a sealant on the base of the seal when installing?

The seal worked fine for about six weeks before this started happening, just hoping it's not a faulty seal.

Four weeks for delivery, minimum, on new parts here in Australia and don't want to miss out on too much of the warmer riding weather.
