What is this?..and why was it in my Main Shaft

[BlueHaya]

Split the cases today to swap out tranny's.

What is this shaft for?



EDIT.....It is the RH clutch push rod. Part of the clutch not the tranny.


Continue on your business...........

I found it hiding in one of my pics. Another good reason to take alot of pics when you are tackling something for the first time.

Get a factory service manual, they tell you where everything goes. I highly recommend it. After you have been in your engine 6 or so times you will not need it any longer...

I have a Clymer manual. I was looking for it under the tranny section. I did not think about the clutch section...since it came out when I pulled out the main shaft.

...and you are correct, the manual has been worth its weight in gold.

very important piece of tubing. The clutch action without it.

Clymer's is one thing, the factory manual -- while more expensive -- for your SPECIFIC bike, is worth it's weight in gold. I've tried to use clymers before on my HD, it's better at shimming up my work bench than as a reference for working on the bike. On the other hand, the factory manuals for my Gixxer and Softail are covered in greasy fingerprints from heavy use.
