I have to pull the stator cover (again! lol) because I didn't seal the wires well & have the "Vision Drip" (I coined it, i'm claiming credit) and figure I might as well do the shift shaft seal while i'm in there.
anyone know the size?
any tips on doing it?
In the manual it looks like all I have to do is pull the washer and then find a way to get in there with a hook or screwdriver & pull it out.. anything else?
Thanks, --Lucky
Seal...Use a drywall screw to go into the body of the seal AWAY from the shift shaft. Takes just a firm pull once it screws itself in. Done this many times.
As far as the wire leak. Get rid of the braid and clean with brake clean. Then use Permatex Ultra Black or Grey. Done this on both of mine. No drips Unless I park it for a month on the side stand. Which never happens anyway.

Then how did you find out? ;D
Thanks for the tip Jason, drywall screw worked like a charm.
I pulled the one off the parts bike so mine wouldn't be down while finding a replacement.
seal size: 12-23-5 with the spring
as to the wires leaking, I ran out of time the day I did it and rushed them, that's why it leaked.
So, now i'll have an additional reccomendation when doing the stator/starter clutch/balanceshaft nuts. add shift shaft seal to the list.
