Phooey Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 OK. So I know that under cover marked A is the clutch so I know I need to empty out the oil before removing it.I also know that under cover marked D is the front sprocket and I can remove that without emptying the oil first.What about covers B and C? What is under those? I assume that is the crankshaft so Need to remove oil first. Am I correct? Quote
Phil Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 C is the gearbox cover, yes you need to remove the oil first. D is the cover to the sprocket to the back wheel.B I imagine is the valve chain cover? Quote
Tango Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 C is likely to be the alternator cover......shouldn't be any oil in there.B could be the starter gear cover....if so, no oil in there..... Chances are that you could remove the clutch cover with the bike on the side stand, without having to drop the oil......but I'm sure someone who knows the bike better will correct me... Quote
Phooey Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 As always, thanks guys.Apparantly B is the pickup coil cover. What ever pickup coils are?You are right, Bob, C is the alternator cover. Seems like they are all safe to take off. Quote

Stu Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 The pick up coil is a disc with points on it that spins in time with the engine The points make contact with a magnetic pick up that tells the coils to produce spark to the plugs Your timing chain will be behind there too Quote
Phooey Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 Excellent. Thanks Stu.Ollie, if you have time let's meet up. Say hi over a coffee or something! Quote
