550 Gear box level

What about the o-ring behind the sprocket spacer.

K3 that's a new one on me not seen a "O" ring behind the sprocket spacer and fitted the sprocket back on today with a new tab washer from BJ's

I assumed there's one in the 550 becauce the 750 is fitted with one.

Hi K3 the 550 sprocket has a different bolting up method the 750 is fixed rigid where as the 550 is allowed to float, the sprocket slides onto the grooves of the drive shaft a spacer is then added and turns until the three bolts holes line up then tab washer and bolt up tight.Funny kind of set up never feel sure about it

But of course Dave there isn't an o ring behind there but there is an oil seal #29 which may be your problem?

Hi Barney yes and it's a bloody big un and lucky it's not leaking

Does anyone know if the oil level of 1500cc comes anywhere near the engine casing joint ?
The reason i ask is i have an annoying little weep that drips near the back end of motor sprocket side, having looked at all obvious seal's on that side i am now at a loss where the hell it' coming from

Cheers Dave

Is the area thoroughly clean? If it is manked up it is quite difficult to spot where leaks are

When I had a leak in that area it needed years of chain lube cleaning off and then degreasing. My leak was from the joint between the two crankcase halves. Only happened when left on the side stand. Was fine on the main stand.

Clean as a whistle Kev

Leaving it nearly upright at present and seems ok
