Ok so i have {THE LEAK}
Did for a long time. just a drip here and there, but now the drip is a pour. Pulled the primary and looking on line for seals and gaskets. Thought I would change the race that's pressed on the main shaft to the up grade bearing with the race in it, since I need to pull the race to get to the seal at the drive gear. I don't know why but the price for the bearing and the seal for the inner primary very quite a bit. From $10 to $50. Whats the difference, quality? Even on amazon the Baker bearing with the same part number you can find 2 different prices and the seller is Baker. So I guess what I would like to know is, has any one else shopped around for this bearing and seal upgrade and what did you go with? Just trying not to do the job twist.

 

I went with the Baker.
No problems so far.

 

Yeah I guess the Baker is the way to go. I just can't believe the price differences in this bearing. Thanks

 

The price difference is about $5 and while the bearing is made by Baker the ones on Amazon are sold by someone else.
One seller is Purely Power Sports and the other is Zagmoto.

 

Might as well pull the trans and get it on the bench...the true source of the leak is the main gear bushing...never stop the leak for long till you replace that.

I fought mine for years ...finally gave up and bought a baker 6 in a 4 speed case...no more leak...but the trans is worth as much as the bike...

Its not leaking at the drive gear bushing. The drive gear feels solid yet.Its leaking between the spacer and the drive gear. I would love to put in a 6 in 4 trans but that's too much $$$ right now. I already ordered one of Ray's special spacers. I'm going to but this thing back together and hope for the best. If it leaks and depending how bad ill pull the trans and do a rebuild with a new drive gear bushing. Thanks for the help.

 

nice looking scooter.

This is the most common leak on these 4 speeds. Tom84FXST is correct. Very easy to do while the primary is off. Mine did it as well sept I had a guy machine one for me before I knew of other choices... Time to listen up here..... Nice bike though......

 

two things some hi gear bushings with the hi end yadda yadda gear oil actually wear out the steel on the mainshaft under the bushing -

tom is correct BTW --- and many others have ignored the bushing and bought rays seal slinger as its easyer to do -


cant tell you how many guys have called us in the spring about just what your doing

 

Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it. Now I'm thinking I should pull the trans and get to that drive gear. As least then I could feel confident after its all back together.
