Leaking oil.... The saga continues.

<< < (2/4) > >>

Brock:
The 28A were oil cooled, and prone to leaking. There is a special tool that can be made, to help fit the 40A , info available on the net but I forget where..

ruSTynutz:
These videos might help if you go with the 40amp upgrade...

DaleAP:
Thanks guys. From what I can tell so far from all the forums and videos I've seen is that the tricky part is using a special pin/tool to lock the front gears in place during the install, but is it possible to fit the new alternator without removing the front gear setup in the first place?

Or are there modifications that need to be made that requires it all to be removed?

DaleAP:
Well Sir, there's your problem.....

I have managed to open up the alternator, and the o-ring was tucked up inside the back section. Removed it and found it is nicely flattened and quite hardened (with the exception of a 2-3 cm section that was very stretchy).

I'm going to leave the upgrade option for another time, so will replace the o-ring and get the bike back on the road for now.

Although that in itself is proving an interesting task as there are no Honda/Hitachi 95.5 x 2.4 o-rings in the country! There's a bearing place near me that says they have a 90 x 2.5, so I'll see if that works.
