Where to find countershaft seal kit?

Post by Willard_13 »

Hey guys, new to the page. I just bought a 1982 KDX 175 and have been trying to find a countershaft seal kit, I have had no luck so far. I have seen some universal Kawasaki seal kits, or possibly different year or engine size might work? Any help on finding some would be appreciated

For the KDX get used to buying parts individually as kits are not normally found other than gaskets.

One of them was NLA, but keep looking on eBay. Someone will have one and price it like a diamond or pound of platinum.

O rings and lip seals are pretty much generic items. Just need to know dimensions and any bearing or power transmission supply house should be able to supply.

Suggestion: Don't say its for any kind of vehicle. Some won't sell for this application, presumably due to liability.

As for the collar, just about any machine shop, or hobbyist with a lathe should be able to make one. Again, just need dimensions. Sorry, don't know if this part is hardened or not, so that may affect local sourcing.

Good luck.
