I was hoping to put this off till January but the tranny puke is getting bad,

If you have the crank seal install tool and the clutch spring compressor may I borrow them?

Thanks in advance Jim Bryant..

You don't need a spring compressor to get the clutch basket off, it comes off as a complete unit. You'll need one to disassemble the basket and get at the clutch plates, though.

I'm about to do this same project! (again.)

How long do crank seals tend to last in Tubers? Mine didn't make it 5k miles.

Could somebody remind me if it's the crank bolt or the tranny bolt that is reverse thread? I know one is, and one isn't.

It's the clutch nut that's reversed.

5000 miles? The mechanic must be an idiot (I know it was you!).

Take notes this time and post them on the board... I'd rather learn from your mistakes than mine.

My best guess was
#1 that you seated it too deep and the back (bottom) side wore through
#2 seal not straight or damaged when installed, I've made that mistake before

IIRC the installation tool requires a "spacer" to set the depth and to push the tool (in/down)

How long do crank seals last ? about 27K miles

My first one lasted about 44,000.
The second one is still in there. (79,000)

I set it in flush with the case, which was where I though it was supposed to be. Is it supposed to be sticking out a bit, or flush?

I'll take a look at it when I pull it out next week.

The tool is cheap, less thaan $20.
With the insertion took, you cannot over insert the seal or mess up the seal lips.
Neat little device.
I've used mine at least 8 times on various bikes (mine and others.).
If you have the primary off for any other reason, it makes sense to replace the seal if it hasn't already been done.
I keep a spare on hand as I do with intake seals and carb boots.

A crank seal that was pressed in too far will go around 4500 miles before the bearings cut through the rubber. Don't ask me how I know : )

Seating it flush with the case should have been "not far enough" though, not "too far". So I don't know whats up with that. Maybe a spacer or something with the stator rubbing the *other* side?

Don't make me get out the green tinker toy! : )
