A word of warning reminder. This seal has only done 350 miles and look at the state of it. I got paranoid and decided to replace with genuine Yamaha items after all the warnings on this forum ,so glad i took heed.  |

I suppose not everybody knows, but 'expensive genuine' seals are less than £20, you'd be mad not to use them  how much did you save by buying the cheapo's ? |

And this seal of course is the magneto side and would of been sucking in air leading to all manner of horrors. Still it didnt take long to replace as i turned the engine upside down thus didn't have to strip down the top end as i only did this a short while ago after fitting a Cool head off you Norbo.
