Kawasaki ER5/KLE/EX500 - Episode 64 - Clutch cover

Buttoning up the clutch cover and at last that side of the engine is complete

Hi loving these videos as I’m rebuilding a gpz500 myself, where do you buy your parts from? And the bolts

[@dirtygarageguy]

The parts are from Fowlers and are the OEM parts - The bolts, if you mean the black oxide stainless ones are from Accu-screw

Hi Matt. Did you have the engine spray black or did you do it I’m think I might get mine done powder coated.

[@clivepoling3033]

Hi Matt..... you say fit the cover and then rotate the rod outwards and the cover will lift off which proves the system works.....i did this but when i spun the lever back to line up with the cable lead, the lever does nothing?.....its all solid......Help please.

[@dirtygarageguy]

So you can spin the lever all the way round and nothing happens?

[@clivepoling3033]

The Workshop I rotate the lever outwards and it locks the claw and the cover plate moves.....I rotate anti-clockwise to line the lever end with the clutch cable lead and the lever appears locked but no movement...it’s solid.

[@clivepoling3033]

When i think about it, for the claw to engage with the cover on and the lever to rotate outwards, by rotating the lever anticlockwise into its normal working attitude, it would disengage the claw.....or am i missing something?

I need the bolt right of the 3,4l indication .. Cant find it anywhere :(

Why is the oil window painted black? 🥴

[@dirtygarageguy]

Because I'm replacing it.

@@dirtygarageguy Oh, i didn't know it could be replaced as a single part 😯 Thanks!
