(fred h.) clutch part?

[oldwing@cox.net]

I can't be the 1st person to do this. Any suggestions on getting it out? It was inbetween the back and front of the chain but with my efforts to retreive it, it has disappeared. I have tried a couple of magnets on a stick but no luck. What now? Is there any access to the bottom of the abyss? Thanks for any suggestions. -- Bill Lewis Roanoke, Virginia Professor of Motorcycleology 2004 R1150RT 1990 R100RT 2002 KLR Expect The Unexpected

My brother in law dropped one of the guides in his. I pulled the do-hickey side off and with a magnet was able to find it. While you have it apart you can change out the do. Use the torsion spring it is much better and you will never need to open it up again, unless......... Let us know how it goes. ________________________________ From: "oldwing@..."

And that, my friends, is why you always tie up the cam chain and stuff a rag around it. You could always try depth charges. E

I was LUCKY , I chose to watch a you tube vidio on how to do the shims before starting mine, and he WARNED to put rags in there, as a comon issue. That GREAT ABYSS has it's own Gravity pull.

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Bill, If it's not too late to make a suggestion... Pull the left side cover off and look for the socket from there. If you can't find it remove the rotor and large starter gear and look again. If you still don't see it remove the left inner cover and also the doo gear and shaft. That will give you a bit more opening to look in and fish around with a magnet.

Perhaps it is attatched to your aftermarket, low-profile magnetic drainplug. revmaaatin.

I dropped a woodruff key down there on my2001. Still there and running fine. Just leave the socket there. It is probably too big to get stuck in anything.

<><><><><> <><><><><> CY, That is really bad advice. Anything that can get in the engine has an opportunity to get into the transmission area too. Either the engine or the transmission has plenty of opportunities for catastrophic damage if something gets jammed between gears, chain and sprockets etc. If you've ever seen a picture of the inside of an engine that grenaded from broken doohickey parts you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
