Ummmm - a Suzuki dealer?
It may be a 31-year-old design, but I don't think you're buying seals that are actually 31 years old. And the last one lasted 31 years...

if the parts fiches at Partsoutlaw show it as a still available part its a new one...not 31 years old...LOL. Partsoutlaw will only have prices listed for readily availible parts.
I take it the part would be #40 here..9 bucks and change and still available. Youre good to go.

Hey guys is this seal replaceable from behind the sprocket or does the entire engine have to be split to change it. Looks like some tye of retaining clip in front of the seal in the parts outlaw diagram that Chuck Hahn was nice enough (thanx Chuck!!) to send me. Beer for yo uChuck if we ever meet for a ride!!!!
I havent done one on that particular bike. I am certain an owner that has done it will give their sage advice soon.

Yeah the new seal I bought fits tighter for sure but sure the packaging looked mighty old ha ha . I dont think the seal behind the countershaft will come out unless engine is dissasembled (RATS!!) was hoping to do the screw into the seal face with brass screws and take it out that way, now looks like lots of work might part it out and jkeep cases for my drag bikes.

I cannot get the half moon shaped retaining clip out of its groove to install new oil seal. This clip sits in front of top of oil seal and appears to keep it in place. It sits in its own groove that is captive. Cannot figure out how to get it out. Old seal came out with seal puller but cannot figure out how to get retaining clip out in order to install new seal. New seal will not go in with clip in place. You can see retaining clip in parts blow up diagram. Any ideas besides just destroying the clip??
