February 3, 2010 at 9:03 am #170202Rocket is the crankcase breather blocked or does it have excessive blow by that is causing the seal to leak as its the easiest exit point.
If that’s the case and you beef up the seal area and stop it leaking it will leak at another seal or spot
Just a thought as you sound as though you have done the seal properly

February 3, 2010 at 9:08 am #170205i will check the breather but the bike seems to be runing ok have actualy fitted two sets of seals thought i may have stuffed up the first time but got the same result the second time
February 3, 2010 at 9:47 am #170203Hey Rocket this is from TT KTM thread, I got it for a mate who had probs with his seal on ktm 450. Dont know if it will help?
Fork seals leak: To fix this get aftermarket seals, I use Synergy brand if I have to change a set. The other thing many guys swear by is cleaning them with the film method. I have done this on my bike, which has stock seals, and it has always stopped the occaisional leak. Have not had to replace these since I got the bike alomost 2yrs ago.
Counter shaft seals leak: Again some guys never have a problem and others cant get it to quit. This system is as follows,from the inside out, a thrust washer,an 0-ring,a sleeve,the outer seal,the sprocket and the clip that holds the sprocket on the shaft. This system relies on pressure from all the parts pushing together to seal the system. Some guys have trouble if they use an aftermarket front sprocket as some are too thin. Most of the time the leak can be fixed by removing the sprocket and sleeve and cleaning the outer seal with a q-tip and the other parts by removing and wiping off. There are new part numbers with thicker o-ring and outer seal starting in 05 that will fit the older bikes as well and fixes most chronic leakers. Often the leak will start after a mud ride or when the bike is left on the side stand for an extended time. Some dont worry about it and call it an auto chain oiler. I have fixed two of the three 200’s I have owned and never had to replace the parts again, but have had to clean one, one time. The other cause, and a thing that can break the case, is adjusting the chain too tight
February 3, 2010 at 9:52 am #170204sounds like a similar setup to my Berg, you need to replace all bits in the right order, oring first, collar second and lastly the seal, I found that the seal surface would be not seat correctly if it was fitted before the collar, not sure how your sprocket is held on but with the Berg a circlip is used and when it wears it allows the sprocket and in turn the collar to move in and out causing oring oil leakage
February 3, 2010 at 10:09 am #170206i have cleaned the seals before to fix the problem have found the seals wear a gruve in the coller than it starts leaking so i just replace the lot then the one i just replaced was not that bad but .am on my third coller now old mate with his 200 must not do many klms.think theres something strange with my bike this time but ?Dont think i have ever replaced a front sprcket seal on a jap bike before
February 3, 2010 at 10:21 am #170207may have to try your method Medogrocket but carefully taping the seal in has worked for me in the past?
February 4, 2010 at 8:51 am #170209think i may have fixed it when i done the bolt up on the sprocket there was still a little slop in the sprocket so tuned the washer up that goes on the bolt and took the slop out of it does not seem to be leeking now .will wait and see when i do a bigger ride
