Big guy on a little bike
Ok so trying to get the bike back on the road for this season and this is my hold up, replaced this seal and rode on it for about two months before it started leaking again. Its the push rod for the clutch, checked the size of the rod and it is in spec so thats not the issue. Don't want to spend another $40 on another 30 year old seal just to have it do the same thing as this one. So I need a new plan, My best idea so far is to find another seal with a little tighter ID and close to the same OD and glue it to the old one then use some RTV sealant around the outside. Problem I have with it is finding a seal with a 7mm id (I think I'll double check that measurement when it get home) and it just seems like a rigged up thing which is fine if its the only way but not my first choice.
I just want to get this thing to stop leaking before I put the rest of the time and money into it I was planning on the spring so any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
* Bike is a '78 kz400b if that helps
