ok , yeah no offence intended, i realise you may be frustrated by this issue and i didnt see your reply but thanks NEO, pictures can sometimes help though but not always
-
well you have the clutch operating arm which goes down into the case, around the shaft of the operating arm there is a groove, this groove is for a locating screw to keep the operator in position and stop it from rising up when the clutch is operated, also the operating shaft had a flat side towards the bottom half, this flat presses agains the pushrod and therefore moves the rod and opens the clutch plates against the tension of the springs this is how mine are and i guess yours will be similar....learn to post pictures!
-
Hmm if its been stood with water in the case i would advise a clutch stripdown, clean inspect and re-assemble, including the pushrod
-
yes there is a pushrod through one of thr gearbox shafts have you ever had this bike working? have you had the clutch off since?
-
its a bit confusing how one minute its suggested the arm may be seized...n the next it's moving 180 (ish) degrees? is it moving easily or some resistance as expected from the clutch springs?

I use a piece of wood!

Airhead replied to Keiran95's topic in Yamaha Workshop
well you will have the head off to change the gasket, all i'm saying is while its off check it, the chances are it will be fine but if it is warped you may soon get another leak -
shes a beaut Andy, enjoy
