Sprocket cover

[kranker1450]

i have a 79 GS1000 and i am trying to get the sprocket cover off.

I have all of the screw out and it still wont come off. I have looked at the manual online and i cant really find any info on it. I seems to be hung up on the shifter shaft. Yes i have the shift lever off. Is there a trick that i am missing or something else? It just slides off the shifter shaft correct?

Any help with this would be great, i think it mught just be stuck and might need a little more persuading I just didn't want to miss something.

Thanks Krank

If your clutch cable assembly is on that cover then just pull in the clutch. If not try a dead blow hammer.

There's not much holding it on there now. Did you get all the screws?? even the two on the very bottom? other than that it's just stuck on the shifter, spray it with some WD40 or something and wiggle away, it'll come.

Thanks Guys.

Got them all even the 2 sneaky ones on the bottom. I had to use an impact screwdriver on each one. I figured it was just stuck on there since it probably hasn't ever been off. I just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing something silly.

Thanks again Krank
