    Question about engine oil seal kit

    I'm thinking ahead to winter and what I want to get done. Among the parts left to me by the PO is an engine oil seal kit:

    Has the part number osk-92. I'm wondering what problems/symptoms would cause someone to buy this. My oil level is steady, haven't noticed any drips. It was a little smokey after my first ride but has been fine since. what should I be looking for here? I'd like to think he was being proactive about maintenance but that hasn't been my experience so far.

    So you planning to tear down your engine and replace valve stem seals, transmission countershaft sprocket seal, engine crankshaft seals, etc? If not, then I see no reason to purchase that kit. And even if you do, I'd get OEM Suzuki seals instead of those aftermarket parts.

      Oh no I'm not planning on any of that. The previous owner bought the kit, I was curious why. He must of thought there was a problem that needed it.

        Maybe he was just stocking up... lots of us hoard parts when they pop up on fleaBay or whatever.

          I have actually used that seal kit before, most of the seals are the same manufacturer as the oem's and I had no problems with them.
