replacing the countershaft output shaft seal on an sv650

[@rodsdaytona]

I have this very issue on my 36k sv. she dumped oil like yours just as I pulled into my neighborhood, oil everywhere. scary how my back tire was coated, unknowingly I did not rev, or lean the bike but creeped her into my driveway. I'm a DIY-er, and this awesome video will help tremendously. Thanks.

[@matttriestodothings]

Great. After my first track day I also found the 32mm front socket nut hand tight. And now that I clicked on and watched this video, I've probably jinxed myself into needing to do this procedure at some point soon... Thanks for the vid. Super useful.

[@Mad8vCycles]

32mm! Thats the magic number :) i somehow dont have it in metric so ive been using the sae

[@ivangeorgiev4018]

Are you sure it's 32? So I have to bought socket for my SV to loosen it.

[@Mad8vCycles]

Measure it? It's just the distance between outside edges

[@matttriestodothings]

@@ivangeorgiev4018 my other comment didn't post, but it's 32mm.

[@drunkredninja]

thanks, i was actually overdue on a seal job myself for an sv1000. this helped immensely.

[@ZachAndFriends1996]

I need to do mine on my sv1k, is it the same exact process? The seal I have looks different than his.

[@marcmarc6072]

I had the exact same thing happen this weekend while on track, and found the nut holding the sprocket loose too, very odd. Gave that bushing a little tap with a punch, freed it right up, replacing it anyways . Nice vid thanks !

Good video my 2001 cbr600f seal went yesterday I know some have a lip on the seal which means complete engine strip to split the case but luckily my seal is the same as yours also instead of using wood just get someone to put foot on the rear break

[@Mad8vCycles]

i dont usually have anyone at the shop with me. and a 2x4 jamming the wheel will be stronger than the brakes.

[@ruinedeco3526]

Saved me from having to take it to someone. Thankyou♥️

[@GiovannyDelgado-e7d]

Your video was super helpful bro but I messed up. When I seen you installed the seal I couldn’t figure out how far you went in. When I installed it I made it all the way back to where it wasn’t going any further and it started leaking as soon as I turned the bike on. Did I go to far in or did I hit it too hard. Or did I do both? lol

[@Mad8vCycles]

@@GiovannyDelgado-e7d just flush is all you need. The plate holds it in place

[@duroxkilo]

i'm not sure the sprocket should have that play on the shaft, it may be an indication of some spline wear.. a moly grease should definitely applied to the splines

[@GiovannyDelgado-e7d]

Just wondering if the bearing in there can be replaced as well without taking the engine apart? I’m replacing my seal as well and decided to replace all those pieces plus the bearing. Thanks bro

[@Mad8vCycles]

@@GiovannyDelgado-e7d im pretty sure it's installed from the inside of the case

[@wodufchwqe8ygf0]

Hey, this was very useful. BTW what kind of rear sprocket you have? 44 525?

[@Mad8vCycles]

I mostly run 520 15/45 but i want drive more than low rpm

[@stanza77]

Hello sir thank you for the great video question for you I keep having oil leak from the pushrod shaft seal and I replaced it twice including the pushrod itself I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong do you have any insight? It’s been suggested that it might be my output shaft seal. What would happen if you didn’t have a seal in perfectly flush because it’s possible to push it in too far?

[@Mad8vCycles]

If it's not even it isnt gonna seal well. You just need it deep enough to fit it flat w the lip

[@adamjlevin]

Are you sure the metal bushing is a disposable part? I have to do this job and I’m making my part order. I get the o ring needs to be replaced, but the metal sleeve seems pretty substantial. Thanks for the video.

[@Mad8vCycles]

on other bikes at least, the replacement kits come with the bushing. and the seal got torn by SOMETHING right, so that something is likely a scratch or something similar in the bushing.

[@SKEPGFX]

You're better off just replacing it whilst you're there anyway, they're cheap enough

[@jayramirez2463]

@@SKEPGFX I’m confused is that bearing supposed to move freely in neutral. Is it supposed to be in gear in order to remove?

[@Mad8vCycles]

In neutral the whole shaft will spin

[@denzilharris7509]

is it possible to have this problem without heavy drips of oil?

[@Mad8vCycles]

if it's very slight, it isnt much of a problem is it :P

[@gutless8500]

Can you do a video on a sv1000 clutch pushrod seal?

[@Mad8vCycles]

it's basically the same steps... but i cant because i dont have any sv1ks :P

[@gutless8500]

@@Mad8vCycles is doing pushrod seal on sv650 the same as doing one on sv1k?

[@Mad8vCycles]

@@gutless8500 pretty much. Theyre in the same area

[@jayramirez2463]

I’m having so much trouble taking off that bearing man. How’d you do it so easily.

[@Mad8vCycles]

Luck? And a relatively fresh bike?

[@jayramirez2463]

@@Mad8vCycles No it’s an zx10 07 I have all the parts just need to take the bearing off and yeah I’ve been at it for a whole hour while it’s spinning in neutral. Guess I just need to keep going turning left and pulling at the same time.

[@Mad8vCycles]

@@jayramirez2463 ah, yeah, svs arent too bad usually. and leaving it in gear helps

[@jayramirez2463]

@@Mad8vCycles so drop it in first gear and crack it open or neutral and keep going though ?

@@jayramirez2463 6th would actually be a better choice imo

[@paleebartos1341]

Hi, i might have the same problem. arrived home a huge load of oil on my bike. and under. oil level just a lil under the F mark. went to wash it off everything is clean. running the bike in neutral. No dripping. (what i could see 11pm) went home everything how it was before. huge load of oil again.... sv650s k3 any idea if its the same? Thanks for the help

[@Mad8vCycles]

Clean it up, then look where it's coming from. Or spray foot powder to see where the liquid is

[@terrancemcfarland89]

How did you get the 10mm bolt off from next to the engine?, did you have to take the cover off a bit so it could slide over for easier access with the socket?

[@Mad8vCycles]

you pop the shifter linkage off (run the bolt out and slide it off the shift shaft) and then 3 8mm bolts out on the sprocket cover (not pictured cause i dont run one).

[@larslinebarger6712]

Same as a first gen V Strom I assume?

[@Mad8vCycles]

Pretty damn close yeah

[@user-hg4yj7uz2q]

Where can I find the counter shaft seal for 99 sv650? Idk why I can't find it anywhere.

[@user-hg4yj7uz2q]

I can not find the parts.

[@SKEPGFX]

Try searching for an Output shaft seal or Final Drive seal depending on what country you live in, they're named differently everywhere, should help!

[@Mad8vCycles]

Dealer, ronayers, partzilla, etc

[@chriswelsh9735]

Part numbers please

[@Mad8vCycles]

You can look them up on ronayers, partzilla, etc. Cant remember if it's the same seal on all the svs or differs by model

Would this bearing cause a noise like this kzbin.infoaf1TDzd1urY?si=z6gFL1Oc5bnwibiG If not, do you know what this noise may be?

[@Mad8vCycles]

almost sounds like a chain alignment issue or something like that? or chain guide being rubbed through? just sounds like chain links dragging on something metal
