Yamaha 350 xt Valve stem oil seals
Hi

We are currently travelling on 2 yamaha 350 xt´s in Chile. We are currently heading north to Santiago. The one bike has leaking valve stem oil seals that need replacing. I ordered a new set(2) from South Africa as the bikes are not common here and parts are hard to come by.

Can anyone recommend a good motorbike mechanic in or around Santiago that can replace the seals for me. I would do it myself but i think you need special tools for the job.

Kind Regards

Johan and Tizzy
from South Africa

I di9d not find much with a search of the S Am repair shops forum using the hubb engine, but a google search of the same forum revealed some good recommendations. Including:

You may also want to try the santiago hubb community. They are very helpful.
