It is a small cap which usually falls down into the clutch basket. Just tap it back in a few mm in to the shaft. This caps stops the oil coming out the end of the shaft and directs it through the clutch keeping oil on the plates. When the cap pops the plates are too dry are are inclined to stick causing a problem similar to yours. Very common on the earlier R1
Thanks for the tip. I'll have a look in the week. Maybe I should buy a gasket before I do it in case the gasket tears when I remove the cover.
Does the basket needs to be removed to retrieve the cap?
