Easy fix, remove starter cover & unbolt the starter (2 bolts at the rear), replace o-ring (use OEM one), then reassemble. You might have to turn the shaft a bit to get it to line up with the gear on the inside but it's no biggie.
It's a tight fit, but you can do it without removing the carbs.'85 GS550L - SOLD
