Hello Gentlemen,
I've elected to pick your brains since the vast majority of you have far more experience with these pups than do I --
Recently, I purchased an '02 husqvarna wr360 which had seen a reported 25 hours or so of use. This, I tend to believe as all of the wear areas indicate minimal usage. To say I'm delighted with the performance of this fabulous machine is an understatement. My current stable of two wheeled excitement includes an '03 KTM 300exc, '92 Honda CR500, and an '06 Husqvarna TE510. I can say without reservation that the 360 easily outperforms my EXC in virtually every performance criteria, and quite literally leaves one with the impression of the CR being a rather hefty bovine, albeit a powerful one. Nonetheless -- I've performed some rather personalized modifications to the WR since its purchase.
FMF gnarly pipe
Steahly flywheel
Boyesen reeds
Ohlins rear shock
Marzocchis revalved
BRP triple clamp w/ 1-1/8 protaper bars
Baja Designs 8" racelamp (for night trail rides which I do a lot of)
In any event -- enough of the :blah:
Do the cases on these machines require separating in order to service the wet side seal?
Reason being, I noticed less gearbox oil drained than I recall replenishing. The machine performs admirably, as stated, but this obviously is a concern. I've noted absolutely no jetting or splooge issues, nor odd idle or running characteristics. Since there's just nowhere else for the gear lube to go, it must be that the wetside seal is the culprit, which is the reason for my inquiry. What are the reasons, or at least some of, for this seals failure?
I appreciate all of your responses in advance.
Regards
