Snapped the chain and clutch push rod on my K3 SV650s recently. Not sure which bit went first?! One failing broke the other I guess - suspect it was the snapped chain lashing around.

When I moved the clutch actuator out of the way to get at the front sprocket part of the push rod fell out. I've fitted the new chain and sprockets - my first time following the Haynes guide, wasn't too bad. Now I'm wondering how easy it is to fix the clutch. Any tips and advice for fitting a new push rod? I'm a bit scared of having to take loads of pieces off to get to this part tbh!

Bike is on nearly 30k btw. Hadn't noticed anything un-toward with the clutch prior to this happening.
