Hello all,
First post as I usually find answers by searching previous posts.
I`ve just replaced the pair of bearings in the Final Drive on my 2002 1150GS after they gave up a mile & a half from home,which was lucky I know, but I noticed the large oil seal had a couple of inches of the inner lip had turned over instead of being nice & flush.
I used the end of a cable tie to carefully push it back but wanted opinions on wether this will be ok or should I get another seal as I`d noticed on a Youtube "How to" video that the same had happened on his.
Cheers
Dave

That has to be a record...... a member for 11 years before making their first post :D

If it was me I would probably replace the seal :thumb2
 
Not worth risking it i would say, make sure its right while you're in there :thumb
 
At the risk of opening a can of worms. Is there a particular reason you replaced both bearings (I expect you mean the big bearing and the taper roller)?
