    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Clutch Rod Oil Seal Replacement

The oil seal on the right side of the motor that goes around the clutch shaft on the exterior of the case. Basically, while sitting on the bike, look down to the right, and there it is. That is what was leaking on my 81 GS850G. I got a new seal and attempted to remove the old one, it just ripped apart and now I have parts of the old seal still in the case.

Does anyone know a way of removing the rest of that seal?

That seal has a metal or a hard plastic support lining it in, it has to be pried out. You may have to take a small sharp chisel and careful cut down the length of it then pry it out the edges to pop it off. Put a piece of paper towel or something in the hole so nothing falls down into the clutch area.
 
take the clutch cover off and knock the whole shaft out. the oil seal comes out with it. then slide the new seal onto the shaft and knock it back in as a complete unit.
 
Thank You

Thank You

I appreciate the feedback. I ended up getting it out with a hook and prying it out.
