stansnuts Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hi, I’m in the process of carrying out some winter maintenance on my 64 plate VFR1200F and removed the rear wheel today to find a lot of corrosion on the final drive flange when I removed the rear wheel. (Bought the bike in summer, 2014 model with 12.5k miles on it). I’ve removed the flange to enable me to clean things up but before I refit it I’m trying to find the part number for an O ring mentioned in the workshop manual (there doesn’t seem to be one either on the flange I’ve removed or on the casing) and was wondering if anyone can help as I can’t find it listed anywhere? Please see photos below to properly illustrate the O ring in question. Any help would be gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted December 19, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hi m8, afraid I can't help you specifically with this but have you checked that the bike has had its recall work completed? Don't think they would have messed in that area and not put the o-rings back in, but worth checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer RC1237V Posted December 20, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted December 20, 2020 Mine was corroded as well, so I took it off and powder coated it. Never saw an o-ring.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah Dutchy. Would be the other side of the drive, probably around item 29 circlip area I'd say. The o-ring in question does not appear to be shown, and as RC1237V states, his never had one! Strange.

Member Contributer RC1237V Posted December 21, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted December 21, 2020 #25 above is an O-ring, but only removed when you separate the housing, or remove the ring gear set. ****When you take the hub (carrier) out, the oil from the diff will leak out, so you will need to refill it. I used some Q-tips, and cleaned all the grit and junk out of the seal lip after removing the hub. I coated the seal wiper, and the ring on the hub that rides in the seal with some assembly grease - or you can use gear oil. Spin the hub as you put it in so it eases in and look at the seal to make sure you didn't pull the lip under. Fill diff, and do a ride check, there will be some initial oil/grease that flings off in a radial pattern, but that should be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This hub corrosion thing is common in cars that use lug nut setup similar to VFR. It is caused by galvanic interaction with aluminum wheel with presence or chlorides from road salt. Here is my hub from 10 year old bike that lives in warm climate. In general painting or coating of wheel mating surface is not advised and never done by oem.
