Most Yamaha's have the clutch on the right side of the motor.

Drain the oil, & remove the Right side cover to expose it........your Haynes manual should be able to steer you from there ;)

Clutches are definitely one of the easier items to replace on a bike. B)

several things to check really

if you have fitted a new clutch then it will need re adjusting to work properly

this is achieved by turning the screw in the left hand casing until it takes up the play and then backing it off a 1/4 before locking it with the 10mm nut

take any adjustment out of te cable before doing this ie give the cable more slack

if this fails then you have maybe lost the little ball bearing that sits between the pushrod and the mushroom at the pressure plate end

tried adjusting it up too so maybe it is the little ball bearing

allthough i cant see it being that as i never removed the whole pushrod just the mushroom bit

although thats not to say the previous owner didnt lose it as i bought it with no clutch
