Output shaft seal - positioning of same

See pic

Had a leak from this gearbox area so a mate changed the seals. Is this the correct position for this seal exposing a gearbox vent or is it suppposed to just go flush and allow oil to internally 'vent' over the back of the seal to keep it lubricated?

Well that's a bit of a 845T4RD then! How to get it back out without ruining it? Not possible I assume. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Won't take long, just remove the casing, think there's 12 bolts, while its off I suggest you also change the small oil seal (only available from Kawasaki) Or just prize it out & replace with a new one (quicker) If you give me the no's of the seal I will see if I have a spare

Small oil seal on the gear shift shaft has beeb replaced and seems OK.
I'll try Bowen Moto for a seal and hope they have one.
If not, I'll post up the number. Thanks!!!
