250-500cc Wr360 kickstarter leak

[ajaxhawk]

Hi guys , i had purchased the bike with a fresh rebuild been done by previous owner , a very tidy bike with the usual quirks that seem quite common . Its had a crack around the kickstarter fixed with some kind of epoxy resin which seems to be holding up fine with kickstarting regularly . But it leaks tranny fluid from kickstarter shaft , had a look at the parts fiche and doesnt even seem to have a seal present ??? Any suggestions on how to stop the leak on an otherwise awesome bike

what's confusing is the bearing and seal are shown with the center cases, very confusing
8000 48209 is the part referenced as #21

on a different note, your avatar, thought they banned guns down unda

 

[ajaxhawk]

So there is a seal ????? Wtf!!
No you can still own guns , just lots of red tape to start with.

Oh and 2premo . Thanks

So i dug all the resin shit off , it looks like hes put a sleeve in to protect the casing at the expense of an oil leak .can anyone confirm if this is normal or otherwise please. Im assuming this is where the oil seal normally goes

The sleeve is where the oil seal goes. the oil seal is # 21. You could just think of it as a self oiler for the chain and change oil on a regular basis.

Could you perhaps try an O ring on the shaft to stem the flow.

Thats exactly what i did ☺☺, i ve ordered a couple seals from the states , but until they get here ive put a thick oring behind a nylon washer and wedged the kicker against it . Went for a 30km enduro ride last weekend and worked a treat
