250-500cc WR 250 clutch seal bubbles

Hi,
After riding my bike I noticed that around the clutch arm where the seal is there is a small amount of bubbles forming and popping.

Is that just a clutch seal issue?

What are the repairs like for difficulty and cost?

Any info would be great thanks

If it is the seal around the clutch arm, it should be a fairly simple process, off the top of my head.

1. Drain oil.
2. Take off clutch cover.
3. Remove pressure plate from clutch.
4. Pull out clutch rod dohickey (technical term) at least an inch.
5. Remove cable from clutch actuator arm.
6. Rotate clutch actuator arm to the rear of the bike and lift it up, should pull right out.
7. Pop the old seal out.
8. Put new seal in.
9. Reassemble.
10. Add oil.

That seal shouldn't cost much, Part Number 800048856 -- looked it up on Hall's they have it for $6.50.

If you have a full Rekluse, it's a bit more complicated process as you have to deal with that to get the clutch rod dohickey pulled out enough to release the actuator arm.

when your bike is foaming at the clutch it's rabid

Sounds like maybe there is pressure builting up in the tranny, check the vent hose. Oil may seep out of a bad seal, but not forced out causing the foam. That is definitely not normal even if the seal failed, I think it indicates some other problem -venting maybe??
