500 clutch activation cover
« on: October 13, 2016, 06:44:37 PM »
Hi All
Just started to do some work on the 500 and took off the Clutch actuation cover and found
the center boss in pieces.
Anyone have a spare lying around please.
Rich

Hi Oddjob
Yes it is the cover, the boss the worm gear runs in is broken in the casing.

Ah I'll take a deeper look, The slotted adjuster on the outside is pretty poor and stuck
does it remove from inside out? should it just tap out? i haven't tried yet,
Ah just cleaned some of the crud off and yes it's the worm screw boss.
How available are they????

Hi Rich if you get really stuck & you need to get out and ride the bike I will loan you the one from my K0  That's assuming that its the same part ... which Odjob or Trigger or Bryan will tell me   :D
