POP! NOOOOOOO!!!!
09/06/08 at 16:08:51

Well, while removing the clutch cover to see if my cam chain tensioner mod was to long/tight, I broke the Release cam right in half! DOH! I was using the release arm as a leverage point and snap! Wasn't even using much force! Seeing as how it's not something I can pick up at home depot, anybody got an extra laying around? Embarrassed

Reply #2 - 09/07/08 at 06:08:07 Makes me wonder if it didnt just die at home instead of on the road. It gets more pressure when the clutch lwever gets pulled than what I can put on by hand, right?

It finally hit me as I read this thread again. That little piece looks just like one of my moulding bits for my router. I've been in there twice now, and it looked familiar, but I couldn't nail down the reason.

Next time I have my cover off (which I hope isn't until about 10 o'clock next summer) I'm going to look at it more closely. Maybe they'll be interchangeable. Router bits are lots cheaper than motorcycle parts.

I think Justin is rubbing off on me.

I can see it now. The "Roman Ogee" mod in the tech section. If the release cam on your cam chain tensioner fails, go to Harbor Freight and get a 12000 rpm carbide tipped Roman Ogee router bit. Part number LS650CCT. Soak it in Mobil 1 for 30 minutes....

Also, don't throw away your broken release cam. Install it in your Porter Cable Plunge router and you'll find it makes a nice decorative edge for a gun rack, lawyers bookcase, or DVD storage cabinet Grin
