not lost til out of gas
hi all, my friend just bought a 2006 R 1200 GS with an oil leak. the bike has 36,000 miles, and seems to be in great shape other than that. the oil seems to be leaking between the engine and trans, which leads me to think rear main seal. the dealer quoted him $2800 to replace the rear main seal, does that seem high? I am thinking about doing the job for him. although I have never done this job on a hex head, I have done it on an air head. after watching a couple of you tube videos, it looks fairly straight forward. so does anyone have any advice , encouragement, or suggestions? thanks in advance
