    Posted this in the wrong forum..sorry

    I am told that the crank seal on my RG500 might need replacing. How big a job is this and any idea where I can get a new seal from. Any leads appreciated

    In This part of the world, I would be looking up Graham Sigley, He is an ex Suzuki factory tuner/racer and Im hoping he is still kicking around and waving his magic wand over 2smokes.
    I havent seen him for like 12 years but he did a cracking rebuild/tune/port polish ect on my old RG500 16 years ago.
    He is definitely worth sending your motor over for a full rebuild job. If your crank seal is gone, whats to say the webbing on the cranks is starting to disintegrate too? Any metallic flakes/specs in your gearbox oil?

    The only G Sigley that comes up in White pages WA is in Salter Point but I remember him living near Connelly way.
