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.
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.[table][tr][td]
