Hummm well when I was a lookin up parts on Motosport the P was the x7 and the R was the x8 :noidea:

I would go with the X7 if you know you have the P crank.

The R and S engines have a much bigger seal...

IF you look up the R... Its got a OIL SEAL, RH (38X52X8) 09283-38018

And i went with the seven the first time... I hope it was just a defective seal... At 15-20 bucks a pop .. I dont wanna do this muhc more lol

Yeah.. Well i guess my dumbass cannot install a seal correctly..... After i got the kickstart side seal in i noticed the inside of the seal was busted...

What did you use, a sledge hammer?

bobkyle2 · Aug 17, 2011

No.. I set it up against it.. And then shot bottle rockets at it intill it slipped into place.....

I used a big ass socket... .. The place that is messed up never came into contact with the socket..

did you grease the seal and use a socket that just barely fit into the seal hole? i grease the seal lip and rub the crank down with some premix

bobkyle2 · Aug 17, 2011

I put premix on the seal and the crank.. And yes on the socket...What kind of grease do i need to use? ...

Mihylo33 · Aug 17, 2011

just a real light grease, something synthetic. like silkolene proG

Well the new seals i got.. Where the correct ones..... Both sets were same part number... But the seals were different...

My first set of seals were moose.. They came in the gasket set..... And the second set was just crank seals from moose... Looks to be the correct one

I sent Dennis kirk an email about it.. oh well ... Here we go
