200x question

[yamaha guy]

quick question i got a bit of oil leaking out of my kick starter, what is the problem?
p.s i checked the oil every time and it doesn't seem to be going down.

[QCR77]

i'd like to learn about this problem too
there was a bike that i was looking and it was super cheap. the only thing wrong was a leak at the shifter.

sounds like the seal (shifter seal) that goes around the shaft and slides into the case is bad . you can get it at practically any motorsport dealer for about 5.00 or so.

[yamaha guy]

but its at the kick starter though** not the shifter

[QCR77]

oh sorry bout that yamaha guy
not trying to hijack your thread

[84honda200s]

there should be a seal for the kick starter as well

[yamaha guy]

ohh, noo worrys dont worry about it, but it could be the same thing, it could be the matter of the seal around the kick starter

[QCR77]

i kinda figured it would be a seal of some kind on both
what im tryin to figure out is whats involved in fixing the seal

[84honda200s]

that i cant say for sure . but i imagine it shouldnt be too bad or too long of a job .

[yamaha guy]

yeah i agree

[oscarmayer]

seal can be chaned by jsut removing the kicker off the shaft, then using something to gently pry the seal out.. onc eout, clean erally well, I liek to use a tony dab of black hi-temp silicone around the outer edge of the seal and then install it. this helps ensure a good seal to the case and helps with install. should take about 15 min to do.

yeah there should be a o ring between the kicker and the shaft i the case good luck

[yamaha guy]

what should i use to pry it out without damaging it?

[84honda200s]

use a very fine regular screwdriver and a hammer to try to tap the seal out with or something with a sharp point to pry it out . ive used both methods and they both work good but sometimes there is no saving the seals .

[yamaha guy]

where could i get a seal if i damage it?

At the stealer
