    Is this pushrod bent?

    I'm swearing this is bent. My buddy is saying it may supposed to be that way.

    I'm hoping he's right. But yea no.

    Thats supposed to be arrow straight..at some point the bike threw a chain and jacked the clutch rod along with it...easy to replace. Just pull it out and slide the next one in.

            Insppect the sprocket cover well once you get the old chain lube removed in the area the rod passes thru to the clutch actuator. Also the engine case itself.

                      Got the pushrod out. Two piece.

                      Ya my chain apparently had a kinked link. I had gone through it and planned on replacing it. Broke the inside of my cover too.

                      Count yer blessings I guess.

                        Please don't get back on that bike until you go through all the maintenance and are positive everything is up to snuff.

                          I actually had the chain ordered when it snapped. Everything else is up to standard. Serves me right for tempting fate.

                            Im love riding my 77n750 but the sprockets and cahin are toast. I dont have the money to get the 530 sprockets and cahin so it sits. I start it from time to time just to keep things free as far as the flaots and things go but its not road worthy. Your picture shows me that i have made the right choice.
