A friend of mine who recently removed the rear wheel to re-grease the splines, found one of the "O" rings damaged, he didnt replace it, the reason being he couldnt find one locally? He keeps asking me what is the reason for these "O" rings? expecting me to say "oh they're superflous and not needed". Looking at them and knowing the amount of grime present in the area of the rear wheel while riding, I assume them to be a dust or grease seal. I keep telling him that Honda engineers would not put them in in the first place if they were not needed. Maybe you guys could shed some light and give some direction to this poor soul.
