it looks like 2 orings on the inner side of a "sifht seal" (i assume they mean shift seal? i have the parts breakdown pdf file on my computer, and thats how part no. 24 is spelled.) which all seem to squish up next to the seal. which of these do i take out? the "sifht" seal is closest to the sprocket.
however, my gf's dad said that my chain tension may be too tight, and that may be pulling the shaft aside allowing oil past. but it doesn't seem too tight. the manual says 30-50mm of play at the back of the chain slide, but they do not say if that is to be measured with the bike on the stand, with the bike under its own weight, or with me on it, but in all of those the chain is still loose. i still consider this a possibility though, as i have just started riding in the woods recently and have been working the suspension more than previously (before last weekend i was only riding in the yard and on the field road. i said that i was a noob and i meant it.)
now as far as getting the seal out: in one of the dirt rider articles they show somebody drilling two little holes in the seal, and then pushing a piece of safety wire through it and pulling it out. have you ever done this?
how would i go about testing if its the chain tension or not? (im just chock full of questions arn't i?) sorry. i get to thinking then i start asking all sorts of questions.
