Who can tell me how and where the oil seal #26 actually attaches in the reduction gear case? I can't see it. Almost looks like a misprint in the manual.

Good question

It's in parts diagrams as well. Just short of taking the cover off my bike and looking I want to say it's the seal between the case and starter motor. Just shown in a weird spot. If you look up the part number it's #24 on the crankcase picture.
The starter seal actually seals in two places, on the outer edge of the seal against the case, a little Yamabond on the outer edge of the seal and it fits in flush with the (edit: inside edge ) of the case. Then the inner lip of the seal , seals against the collar on the starter housing. That is just a double lip seal.

Correction, that seal fits up flush on the inside of the case. On the outside it sticks out a little to form a dust and moisture seal against the starter motor.

Ya, gotcha - but that isn't what is being displayed on the parts manual. I have both the starter spline seal and the starter casing seal set in place. The digram shows by its positioning another seal that appears to sit on the shaft of the reduction gears against the face of the cover when there really is no place for it to sit and no purpose for it to be there. I know it sounds crazy but if you check the diagrams - thats what i see.
Here’s everything in there, I don’t see another seal. There is a spacer there however. ( pay no attention to the red circle )

OK, I can see that being a plausible explanation but when you look at the parts scatter (attached) it sure is misleading to an obsessive compulsive like me.
....and there are no stupid questions Shipper.
