Title: Wanted: small cover from sprocket cover(picture)
Post by: tt_four on April 24, 2010, 11:03:19 AM
So that little cover with the two screws that goes over the bigger cover that the clutch cable screws into, the one that you remove to adjust that little screw as one of the steps to properly adjust your clutch.... well I lost it.

Got my bike inspected today, I was all excited, so I went for a nice 35mile ride, and when I was about 4 miles from home I looked down and notice that little cover was gone. Apparently I didn't tighten it down all the way when I adjusted my clutch. I even remember not tightening it down because the screw heads were getting a little stripped so I was going to replace them, and thought I don't need to tighten these down, I'm just going to replace them... well now I've gotta replace the whole thing.

Anyone have a parts motor that would be willing to spare that piece?? I don't know what it's called, but it's part number 26 in the bike bandit diagram... http://www.bikebandit.com/assets/schematics/Suzuki/SU0083_006.gif

I think I can just make one for now, but I'll have to find a real one eventually.
Thanks guys!

just get you a nice sticker, and call it an emblem until you get it replaced  :thumb:

I didn't even feel like taking the time to make it out of some nicer thick metal, so I just cut it from some thin sheet metal and spray painted it black. Happy to report it looks pretty good. The only reason I don't think I'll bother to actually make one to keep permanently is the stock one isn't the same thickness on both sides, so I'd be grinding for hours and it would come out looking awful.

I see a couple on ebay, but it looks like I'll have to buy the entire sprocket cover just to get the little piece. I'll be patient though and hope someone lists just the piece I need, or I find a sprocket cover for $5, or else I'll just wait until someone here is parting out a motor.
