Man, I always cringe when I hear about a dealership working on an older bike. Good luck with that! Personally I would have suggested sorting it...
I don't think that would work on the 500. The seal is set in a groove pretty well. Might be worth a try though, what do you have to lose? You...
Glad to hear you got it running! Are you sure that it's the countershaft seal leaking? The clutch pushrod seals are known to leak on the...
