S4 a couple of issues ??

[jerry]

Travelled 30 miles to Ducati mechanic shop today the guy told me on phone he had all the seals and orings I need but when i got there He had Zilch ,, so frustrating ,,, now going to give up and get them all in Uk when Im back in 3 weeks , so next time im in thailand I will have the stuff to seal the leaks

at least the bike is 99% perfect ,, and I have the Z900 to ride anyway

Im ordering packs of green Viton O rings in UK cheaper than Ducati as you get 10 for price of 1 from Ducati

but checking sizes??

Clutch pushrod control Pin is 11.6mm OD 8mm ID cross section 1.8mm

Fuel Tank sender sealing O ring is 28mm OD 21.2 mm ID cross section 3.55mm

Also, you don't need a Ducati specific part, it's a readily available oil seal you can get from a bearing/seal supplier though I doubt it's expensive even at Ducati prices.

is it a single lip seal or double and is it spring or springless seal ?????

can order online 12 OD 8 ID 3mm wide for £ 3 I would get 2

Can't remember for certain but I think it's single seal & no spring, also because at that size I don't think there's space for a spring or 2 seals?

To add, I think this is the part; https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p2...duct_info.html

but then, they're not a lot more from a Ducati dealer either; https://www.bike-parts-ducati.com/du...arts/93040491A

The 8x12x3mm oil seal is unobtanium here been to SKF main depot and Misumo and RS and the main Ducai dealer in Bangkok none have stock of this seal in Thailand although its easily available in UK but I have the O rings now so thinking can I do a temporay repair to the oil seal in situ using Wellseal it only has to last max 300 miles and 2 weeks and then I will have the new one to fit ?????

what do you chaps think ???
