like the cracked version of the Suzuki EPC, I swear it works better than the copy they use in the main dealer! The guy in my local one always gives me funny looks when I tell him where to look on his own system :P

I want to know why the input shaft bearing is rubber sealed, no wonder they make a noise if they get sod all oil :er: :er: I doubt they seals help keep oil in :er: :er:


Some info robbed from another site. :thumbup:

Just took a second look at that and it might not be oil seal at all. Could just be the sealant around the cover and oil coming out of the countershaft bearing.

I'm intrigued now. Be interesting to see what state its in when i get it off.
