I went to my yamaha dealership and ordered a mechanical seal and an oil seal but inside the mechanical seal bag there is a white/black seal but I’m not sure what that is for, there are not three seals for the water pump? Can anyone tell me what this is for? It’s the white one in the pic.

I took my tranny apart this morning to add shim. I did indeed have 1.7mm to begin with, which gave me a 3.04:1 ratio.

I added another .5mm shim, still had splines showing on the cam plate and it gave me my new ratio….3.15:1, or 4 fins beyond 3:1.

I now have a total of 2.2mm shim and a 3.15:1 ratio.

Here are the pictures and I did take a video of the ratio count, I’ll have to upload it to you-tube and I’ll get that posted up.

So when ever I turn right at slow speeds I hear a clunk coming from the rear diff area so I looked it up and it’s a rear inner cv joint. I’m assuming it’s the right one because it does it when I turn right witch puts more stress on the right cv joint. I’ve replaced axles before but could any one help me by showing the parts I will need for the replacement and correct me if I’m wrong with anything.

Every time I check my Air filter there is some oil in the Airbox. Not huge amounts but enough that I wipe it out with a paper towel. I am assuming it is oil off the Foam Element that has dripped down and not engine oil. I follow the filter Cleaning method exactly but I still have the oil every time I check it.

Is this normal?

So.. After a 3 hour ride yesterday I noticed my temp light came on. Then noticed my fan had stopped running. I spun the fan by hand then checked fuses. All good. I get home and start taking things apart to get to radiator. It’s empty. Just a lil tiny fluid in very bottom but reservoir is showing a little above full. Im sure there’s a sensor in the rad to kick the fan on but with no fluid it’s getting hot. Never noticed a leak or anything. Any ideas of where to start. Why would radiator b empty and reservoir b full?
