Funny -- today I have just taken off my sprocket cover to clean, wow what a mess old chain grease -road grit, feathers/ dead rabbits. first of all pulled out the cluch pushrod 1 cm to clean, slid back in, then 2 inch -clean then 4 inch---- sod it pulled it all the way out its about 10 inch long and is curently laying on the floor in the garage.
Did I read somwhere that I am suposed to grease it or should it be dry like it is now.
The ball bareing as far as I can see canot drop out as the hole is smaller than it,
Im thinking now I shouldnt of pulled out the push rod, but so far as I can see there was nothing holding it in, no resistance pulling out - no noise that made me think oops what was that.
Here is a picture of my now cleaned cover,the spring not yet put back, what I do want to know is, what is behind the goldish cover with an "X" and 4 screws. I canot remove the screws as the metal is so soft that the heads just knacker( same gos for the cluch actuenter) 2 screws
The acuentuator only moves about- 0.5-1cm when you pull in the cluch - it moves up and down which in turn pushes in the push rod and I guese the springs on the cluch keep it pushed in the other direction
Also mr (or mrs) bbb please look here http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,9738.0.html as I see that you have a 98 fazer. Mine too after (i know only) 16k miles has the origional sprocket an untouched nut and all looks ok.

Quote:The amount of travel on the push rod is actually quite small, such that even just how tight the casing bolts are done up makes quite a big difference to clutch adjustment.This too sounds spot on, as I have read that if you do not use the gasket then you will have to adjust the cluch at the leaver end
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
