Gear change shaft oil seal

Hi need to change the oil seal on the shaft. Is like most seals like this, pull it out and then drift a new one in obviously after draining the oil. It is zr550. Thanks

Re: Use of choke

Hi guy's, mine starts fine if used regular but this time of year in the UK that is highly unlikely.

Re: Rear brake seals

Rear brake seals

Hi need to change rear brake seals on a 1991 550. Just trying to work out how to get the pads out in order to get the pistons out. Do the 2 10 mm pins push in to release the rear pad, they seem stuck if that is the case? Any ideas thanks
