CB550 Clutch Lever seal, replace ?
« on: February 25, 2024, 01:06:48 PM »
Does this seal need to be replaced while I have the cover off?

I'm not sure if it ever leaked or not.

Located inside the clutch/trans cover on the clutch lever, #33 in the pic.

Yeah, that's one low-cycle wear point, for sure!
