What is this thing next to the final drive sprocket?

[Guest]

Hello guys,

A very newbie question. Ive flicked through every page of the haynes and the service manual but cant find what this broken pin is.

Clutch pushrod.

Which model is that?

Your motor mount is loose, are you pulling the engine? Or perhaps the bolt is too long and hitting the case in there?

So I guess the other piece of the pushrod is still in the crankcases? IIRC, that was a one-piece rod (I have seen two section pushrods, but I don't remember which model).

If you want to add your model of GS to your sig line, it saves people asking every time.

Hello ive just placed the engine back in after getting out the front mounting bolt that was stuck/fused in.
Yeah the rod has broken and has a rough fracture, but im going to quickly check the model code of the engine

Thanks for the link, is this a common issue?

I've never owned a GS750, but I've replaced broken pushrods on other Suzuki models. I've never been sure what caused them to break.

Hmmm, on my GR650, the push rod comes out just like that. I don't think mine is broken...

Its a 1 piece rod. The only way to get the rest out is pull the cover and take off the pressure plate. Use a coat hanger from the sprocket side to push it out the clutch side.
