Clutch actuator broke

SIL was out & called. Asked what he should do. I went & checked it out. Grabbed the Big Chrome arm the cable attaches to. One hand, swung it up & down. Busted..TRailered it home. Gotta see how bad its hurt inside. The busted part locked the motor. At idle,,thankfully.

I'm hopin its just ouch & not OUCH. Im a bit worried that the case got cracked. Found some oil dripped in the trailer. Looked uder & didnt see a lump & couldnt find where the oil was coming from. These actuators are simply not dependable. & No, my clutch wasnt outside the "lines".

On mine the cam that the lever works against cracked and prevented clutch operation. It is a cast piece and if it separated could end up in the gears for the clutch. Mine stayed together until I opened it up. Good luck. Max

Thanks a bunch, Bot. You know Im no puter guy & I woulda been frustrated hunting that up. I spent 5 bux more, just to not have to order online. It was worth it to me. Now, I gotta get a new gasket...Ill do that locally & give a guy I like some bizniss.


Got it apart. Dont see any damage, but I havent yet taken a light & really looked at it. I will, when Im more emotionally prepared to deal with bad news, tho, I doubt theres a problem, since it happened at idle & the SIL was d/shifting from 2nd to 1st./ It did make a grinding racket, then a thunk, & shut the engine down. Ill have to have a close look.. No sign of metal in the oil on a quick look. Ill drag a magnet thru it tho. OIl is only a hundred or so miles old.

The grinding he heard may have been nothing more than the result of trying to shift from 2nd to 1st without the clutch actuating...
Not necessarily a broken part catching...

If the pieces look in tact,  I wouldn't worry about it too much...  

I'd pull the spark plug and see if the bike will roll relatively smoothly in 5th gear...

Gave that some thot, too, Bot. Im havin a real prob gettin focused right now. Ill look at the bits & see if theres any damage on them. If not, Im just not gonna sweat it much. Most likely, Ill toss it back together & run it. Not to tickled with this kind of problem. A bit of a hazard IMO. Im having visions of a for sale sign.
