Leaking Camshaft Seals (?) Replacement; Where To Buy New Seals!?

[Ludeykrus]

I believe I need to replace the cam seals on my 82 GS450L. They look just like the cam seals on my cars, the semi-circular black rubber seals that sandwich right around where the intake meets the cylinder head. After getting nice and warm, they will start to slowly drip out motor oil, and some of it runs on the fins of the cylinder!

I can't seem to find a place that sells replacements, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also, I work on import cars. I have a good solid base of metric tools; what tools may I need that I probably won't have? I am about to replace these seals, tear down my carbs, clean them, and reinstall.

EDIT - Here's a pic from BikeBandit, it looks exactly like #16:

available as close as your dealer pn 09241-23002

Cycle Recycle II in Indy stocks these for $2.50 each. That's probably about the same or a bit more than what your dealer charges, but CRC2 is a lot easier to deal with than the surly teenagers at most dealers.

Awesome, thanks guys!

So no weird tools I will be needing for the carbs?

No, no special tools really, not much more than a screwdriver, needle nose pliers and a measuring stick for the floats. Ray
