final drive imput seal

[fizzer]

hi guys i am in the process of replacing the input seal on the final drive on my rockster.
bmw or motorworks do the seal for about nine quid ,but as the genuine seals dont seam to be up to the job is there a better seal to use that others have used to be successful .
many thanks ian

How many miles did you get out of your current seal?

Replace the compression ring as well. It helps.

The seal itself is not the problem, it's the threads on the seal-carrier that weeps.
Give it a smear of sealant and all is good.

Later models (1200??) have an O-ring fitted.

And Pekkavee is right, new seal and new compression seal is mandatory.

I remember seeing it when the pictures were attached, and it was very good. Now without the pictures, not so good.
