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. |

when mine happened, removed the oil seal got a new rod and seal and slipped them in. The rod is split into two bits and only the LHS of mine snapped so it was ok. I am sure Rictus will be along in a bit to clear things up and help, He did with me

I didn't realise it was in two bits. How long is the left hand bit of the rod? The piece that fell out looked like it had snapped off to me from the condition of one end. I'm no expert though!
I'm in Reading. |

If you broke a chain then a damaged rod is likely, the external part of the rod simply pulls out of the seal in the cases, remove it and examine it carefully - it's bent or otherwise damaged the clutch probably won't work properly, if it isn't obviously damaged refit it and adjust the clutch, if it works OK it is OK.
