First things first mate........get some degreaser and give that whole area a cleanup. Looks like you also have a broken bolt in the hole above the pushrod. The seal is almost certainly cactus too.

You are probably going to have to dismantle the clutch form the other side of the motor to get that sucker out of there...... good time to inspect the fibre plates and steels, and maybe install a new pressure spring.

Do you have a manual?

No manual other than what I look up on-line.  The hole your talking about is a chunk missing from when the chain broke.  I'm not to that part yet

[GreMonte]

If that's the clutch pushrod I can see the end of you can draw it out with a magnet, it offers no resistance. If it's burred over where it's broken, pop the seal out, it will be knackered anyway then you can grab hold of it.
There is nothing holding it in there.

Alright thanks for the info, Guess I'll be picking up a magnet.  Wanted to make sure there wasn't a pesky spring or a bottomless hole to drop the ball in.

One of our members, Gareth, posted service manuals. Down side is, it's 2 files to get the whole manual, odd and even pages. Such fun...

If that case is broken, then I really hope you got a smokin deal on that bike. :-)

This is all very good sensible advice and should be followed, what the rest of us do is

1) forget that the clutch master is off the bike
2) start the motor
3) watch the rod, ball bearing and copious amount of oil spew everywhere

From what I can see you have several advantages you have a new ball bearing and rod so you don't need to find the old ones wherever they went

and

apparently you don't have a cat

Following Step #2 will solve the problem of getting the clutch pushrod out, though the cat may indeed be in danger.

I have it on good authority that the ball bearing will not be lost.

Unless the solenoid is activated prior...

Free is a good price. Repairs, not such a good price. Really looks like that case has had the schnitzel.

I really hope the guys who are buying the cheap-ass chains are paying attention to this thread.

ok I don't get the cat references.  I ordered the new parts but turns out they don't have them so I an still looking.

Send an email to Randy at RPM.... He probably has one or two laying around.

This post seems familiar somehow......

Inside joke from an old posting related to the same problem.. Starting engine, blowing out the rod and oil into the unsuspecting cat... Helps if you put a dish of warm milk and tuna in just the right spot so the cat will stay put while you start the engine ).
