its an animal, but on the other side, it's only as fast as you twist it. im afraid replacing the crank seals is an engine out and case split affair, and i would advise you to do the crankshaft bearings whilst your in there.also, check the sideplay on your conrod at the crank, cos if it needs a new rod,you might as well do that while your in there too.It'll cost a few quid, but you will have the piece of mind a fresh bottom end gives on a bike you haven't owned for long.Shout if your having any difficulties when you come to stripping her.you can check for main bearing wear by removing ignition cover and grabbing the flywheel and try to move it up anddown.if you can feel any movement, get new bearings.you dont want something as heavy as a crank rattling about at 9,000rpm.HTH.K.

if you think your other half was mad, imagine my other halfs 'elation' to find me in the middle of the kitchen floor sunk to the nuts in 500 motor.'not amused' doesn't cover it..... :evil:
Friar-Tuck:
Oy! Brotha I think Our maker put us on opposite sides of the big pond for good reason...any closer and we would probably get into too much trouble.
Lead Me Not Into TempTation....I Can Find it MYSELF!!!..

I guess I won't tell you what a good job the dishwasher does on cleaning up those engine parts when you're too cheap to take them to a radiator or transmission shop to get boiled out / hot tanked! :lol:
