a rare day off yesterday and a good time to crack on with the mighty thou.....the "seal cup" i thought was missing wasn`t  :o ...what i was looking at was the "naked seal" that fits between the oil pump bearing and the mechanical seal for the water pump,wear and tear had stripped it of its rubber seal ,obvious when the new seal arrived from FOWLERS (great service again  :thumbup )  as for the seal that came with the mechanical seal that i thought was the seal for the oil pump bearing but needing the "seal cup" to fit  , this fits on the drive shaft directly behind the impeller ,a rubber seal thats a snug fit in a housing with a moulded in nylon  washer which rests on the spring loaded mechanical seal,i missed this one as not listed on FOWLERS but you live and learn , a TOURMAX item, a company i have used before and quality and fit were as good,if not better than original  :thumbup ......


assembled the two pump`s and now has a very smooth,dampened action when turned by hand,refitted to bike which was a bit of a fiddle,took many attempts to loop the drive chain around the sprocket and slot the pumps into place but done now,refitted large bore oil pipe with new o rings ( R10 ) oil strainer and then refitted the clutch , not much more to do now but there is a little niggle on my mind....the chain that runs of the back of the clutch basket down to the water/oil drive sprocket seams to be a bit loose, has a guide,tensioner on it and theres not enough slack in it to jump off the sprocket so should be ok....but its niggling me...ive searched you tube but theres not much on there for the fazer,R1 looks the same and ive watched a few from us which have been very good so will search them out again and take a second look before refitting sump and clutch covers ...


good reading for sunday morning  :lol ...i`ll post some piccies in a minute, might make things a bit clearer   ;) [size=78%]   [/size]

When you ordered the seal kit 11H-12438-10 was this what you got?
The oil seal you ordered No 3 3 is just a bare seal.
I agree with you about Tourmax they are as good as OEM.I would look for Tourmax if I cannot get OEM

hi unfazed , glad you understood my early morning ramblings  :lol ...yes,as your picture shows,the one on the right (top picture) is what i`am calling the "mechanical seal" this sits in the water pump housing and is the last one to go in , the one on the left (top picture) is the one i confused with the one which covers the oil pump bearing which goes in before the "mechanical seal"...the seal on the left (top picture) is the one that slides on the shaft and into a housing behind the impeller...the kit on its own dos`nt include the oil seal to cover the oil pump bearing no3 on fowlers excellent website...

Red, the few glasses of whiskey I had last night helped  :eek :lol

The seal with the nylon insert on the left of the picture is not shown on any service manual.
Same seal kit is used in many Yamahas, Kawasakis and a few Hondas

Tyres are on, waiting for some Loctite bearing fit, which should be here tomorrow. Then back to the tyre fitters for balancing. I'd never used Oponeo for tyres before, but got the Roadtec 01's for £205 with £14.50 for fitting. Quite happy with that. Dragon Rally this weekend so nothing much will get done until Monday I expect.

FOC.......what have i forgotten   :'(

funny you shoud say that UNFAZED....before i turned the engine over for the first time i pulled a couple of leads off the coils so i could turn it over and circulate the new oil around the engine without it firing up.....my moneys on one of two things ,whilst the sump was off i gave the side stand switch a good degreasing with a small nylon brush and some gunk,dont think its been cleaned before and i might of upset something,or,i removed the tilt sensor when i removed the rear mudguard so i need to go back to that and make sure i refitted it correctly......

Red,
Definitely not the side stand switch, the side stand earth is used to control the Starter cut out relay and the neutral switch bypasses the side stand switch when the bike is in neutral with the side stand down, anything wrong here and it would not turn over on the starter button. This leaves a stuck Tip over or disconnected Coil leads

cheers UNFAZED...thats saved me a bit if time,whilst i had the rear mudguard of i taped the tip sensor to the frame so i could still run the engine,didnt take much movement to stop the engine running,bikes still jacked/winched at a funny angle so i could access the sump,could just need putting back on the floor to fire up.....

Its the garage fairies - I have them too, they hide nuts and washers when you have just put them down 2 mins ago. Sometimes I just stop and listen and I can hear them giggling-little pointy eared bastards. 
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
