Very interesting, thank's Pete.
On a quick scan through i did pick up on this;
"Final drives fail in a couple different ways. One way to experience a failure is that one of the oil seals holding in the gear oil fails, allowing oil to fling itself all over the back of your bike. These seals are pretty easy for a moderately-experienced mechanic to replace."
This is only the case for one seal, the outer one on the off side of the final drive casing but definitely not
the case for the large inner one which requires removal and dis-assembly of the FD to replace it.
