One Thing After Another.....

[the_iv_legacy]

Hello All,

This is my first post in the tech forum.

Let me begin by saying thank you to the senior(experience not age...) for sharing their knowledge and experience with us noobs.

I have a 1981 GS750E 16 valve with 30,4xx I purchased the bike in Feb for $300 and have put $85 in brakes, gaskets, carb o-rings, and clutch parts. I have already put 350mi on her over the last month(a pretty large number for the weather conditions).

Now to the question, after my ride on saturday(58mi), an oil leak has developed that looks like its coming from the output shaft. I am assuming its the seal, but I am not certain. Is it possible to replace the outer and inner seals without separating the case?

Thanks for you help!

Are you sure it isn't coming from the hole that drains you upper crankcase under the carbs and petcock?
Under the sprocket cover it could be the shift minder, shifter seal or the output shaft seal.

Thanks for the quick replies,

Chef, I am not for certain it is the output shaft seal, I haven't had the chance to clean the area under the sprocket cover then drive it around to see where it is leaking from. I have no clue when that will happen, I am a senior in college trying to graduate this may plus I am helping put on a car show sponsoring missions.

But I will update this thread as I progress.

Thanks again for your help!!!
