G'day i have a problem with my
1999 KX250
I have to replace the sprocket shaft seal and was wondering if anyone could do me a favour and post pics of how to do it out of a workshop manual?
Would be very appreciated! Cheers and safe riding
-
its an easy thing to do,
pull the sprocket off,
if there,s a small spacer behind it ,take that off too.
insert a small size woodscrew in the seal,maybe at 2 spots opposite.
pull the screws with the seal out ,clean the area.
and then gently put a new one back .

Oh cool thanks. I've ordered 2 little collars aswell. Will i need to use these?
Will i need to use some kind of glue to seal it?
Thanks,
Adon

i wouldnt, it would just make it harder to get out next time you need to change it. just take your time and tap it in flush and it will seal up fine.
-
Will i need to lubricate it with a bit of oil before i try fit it in?
-
from the inside oil passes by the seal ,it should atleast .
but the outside is better off clean and dry.
but if it,s fitment goes better with,use some acid free grease ,
and clean thoroughly the surface off the seal outside
-
Its now in. Just hope that is what was making it leak!
-
must be good now ,did you use grease or not :wink:
-
I just used it dry ey. Went in fine. Just a little o-ring. The old one wasn't the easiest to get out though :lol:
-
you managed to get it out with the screws ,
or did you yanked a driver tru and tore it off :lol:
