[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 157397, member: 2708"] It's quite a miserable experience when one of the aluminium/ rubber types cracks at the outer ring when you are 1200 miles from home. The seal that decided to unseal was the one that sits right under the oil tank and can only be changed by dropping the engine. It was an oil bath type bike and rider all the way home. I had already experienced one of the valve adjuster inspection cap Al/rubber seals doing the same, so everything got changed back to Spares Co. type fibre rings. They work fine, might need a bit of intial tweaking to get them dry, then that's it for a long while. Glen [/QUOTE]
