i did a chain drive conversion a few weeks ago, in the process it required the replacement of a seal behind the front sprocket due to a different dia. spacer going in. i also had to put a quadring up in that piece as well. anyhoo since then on occaision i've noticed a little grease dripped on to the rear shock (99m2). i noticed bearings in there when i did the conversion, how do i repack that grease? do i need a new seal already? or is it that darn quad ring(the original oring seemed to make a better fit)? | ||

i've decided to park the cycle until i can get a look at my service manual concerning this issue. also, i need a new front tire it's cracking along the rim on both sides  . while i have the bike with the front wheel removed, i'm going to paint my fork lowers black (that's right i ride an m2!), and i'll paint the brace as well for good measure! going for that roadwarrior look for my lucretia! | ||

I think that bearing goes right into the primary. There is some engine case around it, but I would not be suprised if it gets tranny fluid directly. In fact, now that i think about it, I *know* it does, as mine popped out after a transmission repair, and I found out from the leaking fluid. So pack it, thats a good idea, and put the seal back in. When I was having the problem, Aarron Wilson recommended a 3Bond adhesive to keep it from coming back out. I could not find it, and think I ended up just using RTV. I agree with the decision to park it for the tire though. If it's cracking, it has lost significant traction as well. | ||

thanks for the reply reep! i should've used some kind of sealant on that badboy and i did'nt! now i will, now that you mention it, unless a previous owner was in there before it must've come sealed from the factory cause it sure was a pain to get out! i'll have to check my primary level now too! | ||

mine alway weeps a little around the sprocket shaft too. last year i replaced the seals and quadring. it still dose it. but i figure if a little fluid is coming out then i know its getting lubercated.  | ||

I kind of created my own problem there... I had a hard time getting it out, was not convinced that I would not need to pull it again someday, and so polished the mating surface on the cases before pressing it back in. Not so much removing material, just polishing. Once I put on sealent, it was good and held fine. | ||

yep, i removed all the old sealant then pressed the new seal in , i don't know what i was thinking, only makes sense to reseal. how hot do you suppose that gets? i think the rtv i have is good to 400 degrees. hopefully i get get it done tonite and maybe pull that front wheel too. |
