clutch problem after replacing front sprocket

[rjb/AKA Bob Barram]

Well, the solution from Maxim is that there is a piece missing that goes from the rod into the vertical clutch linkage. I looked at the maintenance manual and saw what they are talking about but do  not remember ever seeing it before.
It is $5 for the part and they had to order it so I am waiting for the call that the part is in.

there is a piece missing

Bob;
I usually have parts left over after I work on my bike as well...

Bob, can you be more specific what part it is or page number and where to look in the book. Is the part in the sprocket cover or internal between the rod and pressure plate?

[rjb/AKA Bob Barram]

It is part number 7 in the manual. It slips over the rod before it goes into the clutch cable plate.
Here is the latest news: Honda has the part on back order- 12/1 is when it is expected. Soooooo... to make a long story short, are you guys sitting down(?), I just happened to find this bike for sale and bought it out of desperation (NOT!). If I could have had the paperwork done sooner I would have been to the wrench session to show it off.
Are you ready? Drum roll please.

Well, Hootman, at least you could find your left over parts. I cleaned up, swept up, even blew the garage out with the leave blower before I realised something was missing.
The part is about the size of a 10mm socket.

I believe I got ya covered with the part.  SORRY I didnt think about that fact that I have a spare engine sitting in the garage floor!

[rjb/AKA Bob Barram]

Went to the dealer to reclaim my bike last night, put in the part I lost and Greg gave me and rode the bike home. What an ordeal.
The magna will be on the block soon, I can own only one bike.
