Driveshaft Seals

Reliable output shaft seal

The output shaft seal ensures a good seal around the output shaft of the gearbox. This seal prevents transmission oil from leaking out and protects the internal components from dirt and moisture. A properly functioning seal is essential for a clean drivetrain and reliable operation of the engine block.

Due to wear, aging, or contamination, an output shaft seal can lose its sealing function. This often manifests as oil traces near the front sprocket or chain area. Timely replacement prevents oil loss and potential damage to the chain, sprockets, and gearbox.

What to consider when choosing an output shaft seal?

The correct seal is important for trouble-free installation and a long service life. Pay attention to:

• Dimensions: Exactly matching the diameter of the shaft and the housing.
• Material: Oil and heat resistant for long-lasting sealing.
• Seal type: Single or double lip, depending on the application.
• Compatibility: Suitable for your type of motorcycle and transmission.

Careful installation prevents leakage

An output shaft seal must always be installed straight and on a clean surface. Also, check the condition of the shaft and sprocket for wear. With the correct seal and careful installation, the drivetrain remains clean and reliable, and you prevent unnecessary maintenance.
