Returning Visitors
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.

So I decided to get started and removed the big rubber cover on the final drive assembly on top of the kickstand and this was completely filled with oil. My next step is to remove the back wheel (I need a new set of tires anyway)and then find the source of this leak. Any suggestions? It's clearly gear oil but is it from the gear box or the final drive? I'm thinking more gear box cause I removed the oil from both and my mystery leak looks more like my drained gear box oil. Also what parts do I need. Is there more than one seal? http://www.suzukipartshouse.com/oemparts/p/suzuki/09283-32017/-oil-seal

I know several folks have done this job, but I don't know that any have stopped to write the seal dimensions down. If you measure what you have, I'm sure you can get an appropriate seal from an industrial supplier for metric seals.
This is one such supplier near me (in Indianapolis in the US), but I'm sure you can find a similar supplier in the UK.

The bearings are still available from Suzuki, but they are also standard industrial metric parts you could very likely get from an industrial supplier. Most of these failures happen because the threaded stub on the end of the shaft breaks off and allows the splined drive flange to flop around and trash the bearing and seal. The fix is to drill and tap the shaft for a socket head bolt.
