Troublesome Clutch Push Rod Oil Seal Fix

Does look a bit beefier, eh? I've been putting together a list of stuff to order and I've just changed one of the items. Thanks, Sam.:thumbup

So I can just use an sv seal. Is that what I am getting out of this.

Steve

I saw it on Ebay and the microfiche said the size was 6x34x10.5

The TLS/TLR Microfiche says 6x34x5.5

I thought no way is the pushrod hole 10.5mm so I bought it to look further.

I've no leaking engine to see if it fits, but with the exception of the raised top hat on the outside the size is the same but much better designed

Maybe one for the frequent mods ?

Sam, the 5.5 in the TL seal is the ID and the pushrod itself verniers at 6mm. If the ID of the SV seal is 5.5, it would be sweet. Its strange that they dont actually specify the SV ID in the seal numbers :O

i would be willing to try this out, i have a seal that doesnt want to seal up........

Both seals have the same 5.5mm hole for the 6mm pushrod, the 10.5 is the total width of the seal and the top hat is 21.5mm diamter where it will poke through the steel retainer plate.

damn i only changed mine last week for a standard.....wish i had seen this now as i could of given it ago. next time maybe......nice mod

I think it will work and may give it a try since mine needs to be replaced. Are you sure about the seal measurements though? Seems to me that they mean 6 is the hole diameter, 34 is the overall and 10.5 is the thickness:O

The 6mm refers to the diameter of the shaft (or rod in this case) that the seal will seal, in reality the hole is probably 5.5mm so you get 0.5mm difference to create the seal.

Thats on my to do list as well, thanks for the heads up:thumbup

Nice one Sam, bloody good tip :hail

Are the SV seals different for different years? What year is that one?

Is this seal designed to have the tophat side in the oil or the flat side in the oil?

My bike just started leaving droppings... figured it was just incontinence from old age :O

I only checked the fiche for the 2003 model, I guess they are all the same unless they modified the crankcases aswell :dowhat

The flat side points in

sweeeeet, I've got to change mine this winter... now I'm gonna have to give this a try.

Completed this mod on Sunday, field testing to begin this week. I used the seal of the 2003 SV1000 as documented by SAM. the retaining plate required slight modification, filed out the hole to relieve the top hat section of the new seal. Fit was the same PITA as the old one, need to be very carefull inserting the seal but it looks like a winner. I've taken a few pics of the assembly and retainer plate rework, will post later in the week. Thanks for the heads up SAM, that leak was peally pissing me off.

bought my seal a couple weeks ago but I'm waiting until winter...

I replaced mine too but discovered that I also have a leak at the countershaft so that seal will get replaced this winter.

seen it posted in here that it's recommended to replace both seals at the same time which they tend to go around the same timeframe...
