As the title says, Kawi is shipping an updated rear seal. From what my dealer told me they look like what's on a Suzuki. I know my friends King Quad has never had issues with that seal so sounds good to me.
Good time for mine to let go I guess, should have the parts in next Thursday!
Any of you guys see that new shield Kawie came out with for the rear seal? Saw one here somewhere...I think. I'll try and find it and post it. Looks pretty good.
Are the 650's as bad? If so will this updated seal fit the 650's? Prefably the Arctic Cat 650V2. I'm looking at a Cat 650V2 and was wondering if there as bad and will the updated seal work in it.
i talked to a tech at kawie and he said he had no part #s because this was a test seal. he said they recieved an email saying that they were issued 8 or 10 of these updated seals to send out to dealerships as a trial
Pasadena Kawasaki was gonna install a 'new' seal on my buddy's brute but they wanted to keep it like another week to do it... Maybe they have them? I've been wanting to go ask them, cuz mine's leaking now...
Those would be my pics! No part numbers...my dealer got the parts in a box with NO paperwork and I believe them. This is the fix and is some kind of beta program. I got it warrantied with 3300 miles on my Brute and 6 previously warrantied seals. Apparantly I'm the 2nd guy in the world that's had this done. Requires a new rear drive shaft for the "shield".. 200 miles and so far so good and hoping for another 200 w/in a week....stay tuned
LM83...just curious how many seals you went through before they picked you for the test..? No one on Kawieriders has had this done and everyone wants it...again no part #'s.

I went through 4 seals in 4 weeks. Kawi is being very selective on who recieves the kit. Like you said, dealer showed me the box my kit came in and there was no part numbers on the box or on the packaging. I got picked because of my style of riding, mud,mud,mud,water,water,water,mud,mud, and a lil more mud. I'm rocking on about 350 miles on mine so far. No problems. Dealer did tell me that this kit will eventually be avaliable to the public AT NO COST. Recall item. Your the only other person I know to have this besides me.
