Hi guys
Not been on for a while so 👋
My gen 1 1000 has just started to leak from behind the front sprocket. I'm assuming it's the drive shaft oil seal. How much of a job is it? Haven't looked into it too much yet, thought I would seek the advise of one of you foccers!
I'm thinking it could 🐝be an engine out job to get access. Hope I'm wrong. Will be talking to my friendly mechanic tomorrow or may have a go myself.

I believe you can just pop the oil seal off and replace once you have the sprocket removed . My friend did his r1 4xv (for this job it's the same engine) , only took ten mins. His had worn out for whatever reason.

That sounds hopefull :) Could do with a bit of luck. Got a couple of projects giving me hassle. Last thing I needed was my old faithful fazer going sick :'(

More likely the gasket on the shift shaft cover above it, common enough or the R1 and Fazer. Part number was 4XV–15463–00, but replaced by 5JJ-15463-01 much more common than the sprocket seal. Remove the sprocket cover and you will see the oil dripping down from shift shaft cover, about £17 for the gasket seems expensive for a gasket.

On inspection I think it is the shift shaft cover gasket. Will get one ordered and probably get a new oil seal as well .
Thanks for the part number should save some time..
I agree about spares prices good job the old yams don't break down that often!!
