leaking front sprocket seal

<< < (2/2)

jfabmotorsports.com:
I have found that some aftermarket sprockets are not as thick as Kawasaki sprockets. If this is the case there will not be enough pressure on the "O" ring to seal. The gear oil will go between the collar and shaft through the splines and out in to the ozone. Almost every engine that I have taken apart has had silicone sealed between the shaft and collar. The ones that have had silicone had no signs of leakage.

I think there are some past threads on this problem also.  one was http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,298.0.html.

i would like photos of that oring they discussed if that works

zokalr13:
   it happened to me last ride-spewing oil out the countershaft-i musta put too much oil in the tranny :-( -so change your seal -but be careful and dont put in too much fluid-especially if you rev the hell out of your motor!!   :roll:   ZO13

Charlie500:
were they talking about using a different type of oring? maybe a bigger one would work better?
