6 or 7 PSI is my understanding. doing more can cause problems, then U will never know what happened.dannygraves wrote:to check the seals, you cap off the intake and exhaust. a rubber stopped with a wingnut from home depot works for the exhaust, and a freeze plug with a shrader valve attached works for the the intake. you pressurise (not very much), then check for a loss and where the hissing sound si coming from. to check the ign side seal, just remove the flywheel and look for evidence of a leak. if there isn't anything there and you are still losing pressure, inspect the base gasket and case gasket. if it still loses pressure, ti would either have to be the case gasket by the trans, ior the seal. so then you would remove the right engine cover and see if you can norrow down where the hissing comes from.

Hmmm...interesting but definitely saves ALOT of work splitting the cases. I've done similar things on other bikes...just haven't had a 500 apart yet. Thanks for the info.dannygraves wrote:I have... I have a ghetto way of doing it, I drill a hole and use a sheet metal screw to grab the seal, then pull it out and clean up behind it well.
ps Dogwalker, check your pms.
