Does the correct oil level in the sump normally sit above this seal or is my few mls extra causing the issue?
I'll have a look in the Haynes Manual at how to remove the shaft. I've never tackled anything like this before and its my daily driver at the mo while my V-strom is up on blocks.
I'm not lazy or a butcher regarding my maintenance and anything my bikes ever need, they get, but I honestly can't really see how going through all the hassle of stripping out the clutch, new gasket etc is of any advantage over carefully drifting in a new seal along the shaft?!! It has a seat to butt up against and can't go in too far and either way the splined part of the shaft HAS to go through the new seal at some stage of doing the job?
