Even though the clutch is on the right side, I'm 99% sure the YZF600R's clutch rod is actuated from the left side of the motor, under the sprocket cover, and the chain runs really close to that clutch push rod.

Edit: this thread for adjusting the clutch play on the lower end of the cable shows what really looks like the ass end of a clutch push rod right in front of the sprocket: http://www.yzf600r.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=31474

I cant speak for the yamaha motors but thats how the TL1000 motors are set up. Those motors are notorious for leaking from the clutch pushrod seal as well as from the countershaft sprocket seals. I had what may have been the push rod seal completley let go on me, and oiled up the real wheel big time. Fortunatley I was traveling straight when it happened and safely pulled to the side of the road.

I stand corrected. Apparently there is a way in hell the chain can hit the push rod.

You have no idea how hard it is to keep Captain Morgan from jacking off.

Thanks, now my carpet is soaked with ginger ale.

At least it's clear and I move in a month.
