Nick.H Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Brought it by my mechanic, he's helping me pull the motor. It's both the shift shaft seal and the countershaft seal. He's insisting on splitting the cases, and replacing crank seals while we're there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 i was gonna say, those seals dont need the motor removed to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick.H Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 He's insisting it's the best way to do it. I'm kinda at his mercy as far as tools and working space, so whatever he wants to do I have to be onboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTWANNARACE Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Counter shaft seal would only leak if it is running as the oil level is not high enough to leak from there when parked. Jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmo I heard if it's overfilled the fluid pressure can build up and blow past the seal. Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 if a vent it clogged it can cause pressure to build. there are 2 vents. most people block off the water pump one as it normally is in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain it is left over from the RZ350's thermostat system. (Why it has 2 screw bungs next to it) Even the Banshee Clymer refers to it as a coolant hose. New lockout covers do not have a provision for it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I remember putting that hose in soapy water when I did leak down, was that to check the crankshaft seal?It's been awhile I think I'm confused, would that mean I would have to remove clutch cover to check for air leak if the hose is blocked off?

It's been awhile I think I'm confused, would that mean I would have to remove clutch cover to check for air leak if the hose is blocked off? Depends which hose, the front one tees to the rear one, if you put the rear only hose or the end going up the steering you'd be OK at checking the crank seal.

kawa110 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Gotcha...the crankshaft seal can be tested with just the rear hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick.H Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Got the motor put back together with the new countershaft seal in and new crank seals. And new shift shaft seal. I don't know how I would've been able to get to the countershaft without opening the motor up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick.H Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Putting the motor back in the bike today. Hopefully no issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
