Hi All,
My bike is a 2003 K1200lt with 50k Km.
I wonder if anyone can help me. I had a clutch slave cylinder failure which I replaced myself. That now works fine. While doing this I noticed that the gear box drive shaft output seal was leaking some so I decided to change it. Reassembled everything and went for a long ride around the north of Ireland (I live in Limerick, Ireland) after 3 days I noticed that I had gear oil coming from the rubber gaitor between the final drive and the swinging arm. On investigation I found the oil lever low in the gearbox and had to top up to get home. When I opened the gaitor at home I had a large amount of gear oil in the swing arm. The new seal which I replaced on the drive shaft is leaking much worse than the original.
I decided that I might have done something wrong ( or I had a faulty seal) so I installed another new seal. Both seals were supplied by BMW through Motorworks in the UK and look identical to the original except red in colour instead of black.
On Sunday I went for a spin of about 200Km and this morning the result is the same. Gear oil in the swingarm again.
What have I done wrong? Has anyone out there experienced a similar problem?
What is the fix for this.
Please help as I dont know where to go next.
