KZ400 Rear sprocket hub
21 Nov 2024 15:39
Question. '77 KZ400 Deluxe.
I came across this while replacing bearings, seals, O-ring etc. Is there supposed to be a groove where the black ring is? This is where the o-ring sits from the hub. It doesn't seem too deep. Since it doesn't spin I can't imagine how it would wear a groove? Thanks in advance!

This is what should be in there (no "O" rings)

Wrong side, turn it around. The o-ring rides on the area with the picture.

All the parts lists I can find do not show an o-ring located on the interior of coupling a grease seal on the exterior of it and a bearing Here is one from a paper parts list

The o-ring is fit on the rear wheel hub and acts like a dust seal to the wheel bearing.
