Haha wow, that ones a lot cheaper than the one you guys are trying to sell me [SMIRKING FACE] thanks for the link Julien!

[omeltono]

Alright guys just got it today. They only took off the clutch cover. But inside they found this. Any suggestions?

So are you saying the shop didnt split the cases?

[omeltono]

No the shop didn't split the cases. Thanks for that link, looks like that's where I'll find my answer

[Tedh98]

Gotta love that first gear second gear are shot diagnosis.

That's the remains of the KIPS governor shaft pin.

[omeltono]

To replace it do I have to take split the engine? Or can I just take off the kips cover?

[Tedh98]

Just take off the larger cover on the clutch side.

[diymirage]

yup, about a 5 dollar part
plus a 4 dollar gasket, and 12 dollars for shipping and your bike will be running like a choo choo train...how are we feeling about that bad deal now ?

[omeltono]

Fantasticcc [THUMBS UP SIGN]

[omeltono]

Alright. I've found the part, thank you guys for everything and I'll let you know if/when I get it up and running. Now is there any other parts I should order while I'm in this side of the engine?

[Dekon]

I'd do a water pump seal while it's apart.

[omeltono]

Could I do a liquid seal?

[diymirage]

I'd do a water pump seal while it's apart.

it wouldnt be apart, you can take the inner clutch cover off without disturbing the water pump
might even be able to do this job with only the outer clutch cover off but i doubt it

[omeltono]

Alright so just got around to taking the beast apart. Not far into the project the longer screw on the clutch cover appears to be stripped, so as of now I'm at a standstill. More help pleasee

[omeltono]

I do have a screw extractor kit put I'd prefer a safer way if possible

[diymirage]

a couple of options
is it sticking out far enough to get a pair of locking vice grips on it?
if not, you may have to get a dremel with a cut of wheel and cut a slot in it so you can use a flat head screwdriver
you might get lucky and be able to flatten the head with a hammer and then remove the screw with an impact screw driver (really a necessity with any motorcycle)
the last (and perhaps easiest) option is to get a drill bit one size larger then then body of the screw and just drill the head off
once all the other screws are out and the cover is removed you can get the vicegrips on the shaft of the screw and remove it
