    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Same Problem here, It still leaks, I don't want to remove the cover without a solution in my hands because I can only work on the bike the weekends, when all the Motorbike shops are closed.
Someone proposed me to glue another seal to the seal already installed to solve the problem, seems to be what we mention here in Argentina as "Atalo con alambre" solution (to bind something with metallic wire for a quick short range "solution"). I hate this style of "solving" the problems, and I would like to get it fixed so I would not leak again for another... 26 years [-o<

You need to make sure that the shaft itself is "REAL" clean and has no burrs or build up. If it does take some fine sandpaper and make it real smooth so that when you put the new seal in that you have put a little oil on it won't tear up the new seal and it should take care of the leak. Also make sure that where the seal makes contact with the shaft that it doesn't have any grooves. If it does you need to get a new gear shift shaft.
