    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So yesterday I decided to replace my clutch pushrod as it was bent and causing an oil leak by pulling the seal apart. I took off the right side of the case and removed the clutch, pushrod, and replaced....etc.

I also took a picture of the side with my phone. Later on when I looked at the picture, I noticed a large hole with three holes for bolts around it. I am a noob here and I'm wondering...is something supposed to be here that is not? I was thinking maybe oil pump or something but I am not sure. Anybody have any ideas?
 
i dont know what bike you have but that hole would surely be for a kickstart assembly. if it isn't there then you have the option of fitting a kickstart if required.
 
Ah yes, that would make sense.

And my apologies I have a 1982 GS550L...and there is no kickstart
 
Yup...the cases were made with the kicker spot..whether it was an option or not. Theres nothing wrong with just leaving it as is. The oil pump is directly behind the clutch assembly and is driven off a linkage pin that interfaces with the back of the basket and the pump itself.
