Cracked Clutch Cover
09/03/23 at 01:09:39
 
Hey guys, noticed a small crack in the clutch cover today during reassembly. Worth fixing or replace?
I thought it was just a scratch but when torquing down after fitting the new gasket I hear it make that dreaded 'tink' sound.
If anyone has a spare cover they'd sell and ship to Australia please let me know. Would rather buy from you guys than eBay if the price is right.

That is bad news.  The crack runs into your oil passage.  It's the passage that connects your oil pump discharge to the oil filter, so there is significant pressure involved.

Yep. I'm just going to look for another one. I don't think the cost of repair will be any cheaper

Why did it crack?

Something had to be installed improperly for there to be stress on the cover and the resulting crack as you tightened the screws.

I believe you should use this cover to discover the issue - before you try to install a replacement.

The crack was present when I bought the bike. I just thought it was a scratch. It does look like the cover was dropped at some point near the crack. That or it was over torqued with a badly fitted gasket.
