Oil is leaking from the sprocket shaft of my 1996 KDX 200.
I have removed the sprocket, metal bushing
and the outer seal (rubber O-ring) from the shaft.
I think the inner seal is damaged.
The impression I get from the service manual is that I
need to split the crankcase if I want to replace the inner seal.
Is this really the case ?? Could I possibly cut off the outer
crankcase cover that surrounds the sprocket shaft so as to
get at the inner seal ? -- or would this be a bad idea ?
Thanks,
Brendan.
