do cases have to be split to replace crankshaft seals on a 89 500?

Yes, sorry to say, but yes you have to split the cases in order to replace the crank seals.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I bought some seals and figured it would be like EVERY other 2 stroke Ive done seals on. Pull the flywheel and its right there able to pull out and change in under 2 hours.....but no thatd be too easy! Stupid bike.
