Hi again everyone I have a slimline triton running an AMC box for which I have just bought a new kickstart when removing the old one I found a rubber seal wrapped around the spline that seems to be to big to do anything at all and it does not look like it would make any kind of seal anywhere can anyone tell me if this supposed to be here and if so how do I fit it, also while I am here can anyone tell me how to get notified of replies to my posts thanks everyone Chris

Hi Christopher, The oil seal may be just a bodge or it could be its escaped from the outer cover. I would fit a new seal and the best one I have found to be a Quad ring that I got from Norville. The standard O ring does not do the job. You will have to remove the cover and remove the KS spring and KS shaft to fit it.

Once the outer cover is off you can fit a new seal without removing the shaft or spring which are attached to the inner cover. RGM and others also sell Xring seals and while your at it the gear lever seal can be replaced with an Xring but this will involve removal of gear lever shaft and spring as they are attached to the outer cover.

Yes Karl is right, Half asleep when I wrote this!.A new gasket may be needed, Tip the bike on its side a bit to retain the box oil.
