Ca anyone please tell me if the Clymer manual gives step by step instructions and pictures etc on how to replace a crank seal for the beast of all beasts! ?

KiwiKx,

It's outlined fairly well with pics in chapter 5, pages 194-201. 

Good luck with the beast.  I just rebuilt a 97 K5 from the bone yard and relied heavily on the Clymer manual.  Well worth the 25 bucks or so.

Kawai dealer here in New Zealand quoted 8 hrs to replace the crank seal, presume he meant motor still in the bike, another motorbike shop quoted me 6 !/2 hours with thge motor out at $55 an hour.

Need now to get hold of a cylmer manual and have a look at difficulty.

$100 here for the manual lolol but should still be worth it.

demographic:
I have the clymer manual and its well worth buying anyway, I prefer them to Haynes manuals.
