oil seal by the shifter is leaking. where can i buy that one seal???

i wondering where i could buy that one oil seal by the shifter. i dont really want to buy a whole oil seal kit because i only need that one seal. thank you in advance.

Hi,

I got some at Kawasaki dealer. 5$ each.

Check the cover, I think that there is on inside and another one outside. So 2 seal would need to be change.

Would appreciate if someone could confirm this. I got my seals but not install yet.

Also, is there a special way to install them?

If your are talking about the Mission cover there are actually 3 seals on there. I bought mine at www.redlinecycle.com/ but that is becasue its local to me.

IIRC on let's say a 1000 J motor there are 3 seals for the shifter shaft. Only one makes any difference when it comes to holding oil in and that would be the one on the mission cover itself. There are two on the outer cover that covers the countershaft sprocket area but they really serve no purpose, one is on the inside of the cover and one is on the outside. Since there is no oil in that cover it was always a mystery to me why they were there.

They did come in handy one Sunday when I was riding in Amish country though. I stopped to get a drink and when I came out I had a huge pool of oil under the bike. I wound up carefully removing a seal from the outer cover and using it to fix the leaking seal from the mission cover. Got me home just fine, and I don't think I ever did replace it.

I bought that seal at the dealer for my 750 Shaft. Cheap and very easy to fix.

Boy, that Gringo is going to give MacGyver a run for his money. lol

jcote75 they go in easy. Slide them on the shaft and set it in the case/cover. You may need to wrap a piece of tape around the end of the shifter shaft in case some sharp piece of metal cuts the seal.

Hey Kent you've got to picture where I was.
It is #1 a Sunday and nothing is open.
#2 I'm in the middle of a place where they travel by horse and buggy.
#3 this is 1981, way before everyone rode with a cell phone. (don't think they were invented yet)

This was a case of get creative or walk a loooong way. The really retarded thing is I still remember the part number for that seal 92049-004 fits darn near every Kawasaki ever made.

i forgot to mention my bike is 1979 kz650sr(d2). would anybody happen to have the part number for that seal. im trying to find it on a kawasaki parts website but no luck.
