[QUOTE="chiro972, post: 1229563, member: 37568"] Some great posts here, but I'm more confused than ever. It sounds like I can't go too far wrong either way. I also have no way of knowing if the seals had ever been changed before. The bike is on it's second overbore, but I don't know if the bottom end had ever been looked at. The bike seems to be fairly low hours of total use. The clutch basket looked like new, no notches in the fingers, so maybe that is the original seal. The crank bearing shows no sign of play that I can detect. I grabbed the shaft and tried to wiggle it as hard as I could and felt no play. I think I'll probably install it the way it is. Interestingly, the seal doesn't touch the crank. There is a spacer around the crankshaft and that is what contacts the inner lip of the seal. The spacer has a rubber o-ring to keep it air and oil tight. For all I know that is what was leaking. Anyway, I have both the seal and the o-ring coming in the mail. Should be here tomorrow. Gasket might be backordered though. The clutch cover came off mostly intact. Any bets on whether I can re-use it with a little yamabond where it tore and get by until the new gasket shows up?
