Hello peoples,
This bike has a chain that is too wide and was rubbing against a rubber seal or cork on the side of the transmission, and it appears to be leaking now. I have looked on bike parts sites and in the service manual and can't for the life of me find any mention of this seal. If someone knows what it is or can point me to a site where they sell a replacement for this seal, by all means please end my search! The more specific the better if you know what it is, because I need to find one online.

THANKS!!
ps - if you know of a way to fix the chain-rubbing-against-the-seal problem, please let me know. I haven't worked on bikes before and I don't know if there is a way to adjust the distance of the drive sproket from the trans casing. Thanks again!
