Clutch pin broken?

[ragedigital]

So does anyone know what replacing a clutch pin entails?

Assuming you mean the "push rod", then it shouldn't be a huge ordeal. I would remove the clutch cover to see what is going on over there first. See if the push rod is functional. You would have to put the sprocket cover back on with a couple screws in place to activate the clutch lever.

The problem is that it should still go in gear with a broken clutch push rod. I believe your problem lies elsewhere.

Ok so I got the cover off, here is a pic of the pushrod, I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like or if this is broken so some input would help. It was pretty wobbly in the hole, there is also alot of slack in the cable, I posted a pic of that, too. The bike goes through all of the gears but the clutch lever is just sloppy and doesn't do anything.

Yep that's snapped check the parts fiche exploded view, item 14 http://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-fzr600rdc-1 ... /C-07.html

Has the chain snapped or been snapped? that can cause the push rod to snap.

Everything else looks good, guy I got it from said he thought the chain snapped when it happened but I guess the pushrod just broke, is that normal?

On the parts diagram, it has the #14 pushrod shown and is that 2 pieces or does it just look like that for the purposes of the diagram? Does it go through to the other side of the engine?

[thatkid]

Its shown in 2 pieces but its 1 piece. There's the Push rod 2 (your snapped one) then a ball bearing (#15 in the diagram), then push rod 1 (#9) which moves the pressure plate (#6)

and the one I showed in the pic is all I will need?

If the chain had snapped, You should check your oil & coolant level. The water pump is close to the front sprocket and could have got damaged (you should see marks left by the chain) the push rod oil seal may have leaked oil.

There could be other damage, whether you only need the push rod

Could have something to do with the bike not going into gear.

The bike goes through all of the gears

With the engine off it should be possible to shift through the entire range just by bumping the bike back and forth. If it WILL NOT got into first or second while rolling the bike slowly forward, it ain't the clutch...

Have you followed Dons advice?

Yea it goes through the gears, but the clutch lever isn't worth a damn, hopefully sliding a new pushrod in there will fix it....
