(The manual calls the belt cover the "clutch" cover
and the rear end--the last two DRIVEN shafts--the
"transmission"--cover.)
I had MY belt/clutch cover off to change my
belt and rollers and a guy I know has the dreaded
rear drive bearing noise. I told him I would remove
everything for him and he could try the bearing
removal himself. I felt I was kind of leaving him
out in the cold, so I decided to get a closer look
at things on mine since I had it almost apart.
(Duh, I should have tried looking at pictures in
the manual.) Anyway, I took the rear drive (transmission)
cover off mine, saw that the bearing is attached
firmly to both the cover and the shaft, a combination
I do not want to mess with on someone else's scooter.
But now I want to put mine back together and
the skinny o-ring for that cover makes me uneasy.
The manual clearly says on page 3-72 ,
"CAUTION Replace the O-ring with a new one."
But manuals always say those "correct" things. I would
like to hear that someone out there has successfully
reused their old o-ring and did not experience
subsequent leakage.
Thank you.
