I broke the part that actuates the clutch :technical:. It is located under the sprocket cover and runs from where the clutch rig is and straight across into the engine and in front of the chain. There is a picture attached. I am unable to ride until I get this and the shop said end of next week. Anyone have one? I will pay for overnight shipping. Thanks -Josh

cant you weld it and grind it smooth until you get the part in
Hi there,
It's called a clutch pushrod.
And no you should not try and weld it.
You'll have to order it from a dealer if you can't find a used one.
How did that break?
Did your chain snap and then tear up the pushrod?
Good luck.

How long is it, I have a few of those off ZX10's and MAY have one off a GS500E, if you can wait until saturday for me to look.
uhhh...go to lowes or home depot and buy a piece of roundstock and cut it to fit.
make sure to buy cold rolled round stock :).
nothing wrong with welding it if you know what your doing it would come out fine.
buying round stock is the best solution though!
yeah I thought about going to home depot and making one but I thought I'd try here. I broke it when I accidently put bike into gear before I finished attaching master link... stupid I know. Anyway I found this http://www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/1/Suzuki.aspx
under clutch for a 2005 gs 500f do I need but 18/19? Thanks
I'm going to look and see if I've got one for you today. chances are that I VERY WELL might just have that part just sitting in a bin of random GS stuff. I know I have two extras off an 86 GPZ1000, and numerous other things for that model particularly, but those probably wont realistically help you now.
Thank you Bob.

+1 this is a $2 fix.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
sob.....bwaaaaaa
:sad:
OK
nuff beer for me.
Heygawgaw came thru.. thanks guys!
And I do in fact have one, seems like you've got a replacement already, but if ya wind up needing one for like a spare, or whatever, jsut say the word. this tiny freakin thing is really short compared to a majority of pushrods I've seen.
Where is the cheapest place to order OEM parts? This is part number 20 correct?

The cheapest source of OEM parts I know of is www.bikebandit.com
By the way, how did you break your clutch pushrod while changing the chain? You had the engine running??!! :nono:
