ahoy there everyone! ive just found a small crack in my clutch cover.. not leaking oil, just a weep...
obviously will need changing asap, but how worried should i be?
thanks in advance guys!

How did you get a crack in it? I'd be worried enough to get a new one quickly, or at least get it welded for a quick fix. IMO oil where it's not supposed to be is not good.

Speaking of clutch cover cracks, I got a crack in mine today! Although it was angle grinder induced and looks more like a gaping hole. The same happened to the alternator cover! Relax, it was for some carbon molding - I still feel ashamed though! Luckily the covers were on lone from Stickshift

well, i only bought the bike a few days ago, and today i gave it at real good going over...
its not that noticable, otherwise id have spotted it right away...
il definately be getting it changed asap.. just wanted to know if should be taking the bus for the next week or so...
its been down the raod at some point cos the clutch cover is rather scratched... i think it may be a result of that....

I wouldn't be taking the bus. Just keep your eye on it and get it sorted as soon as you can. You should be able to pick up a cheap one of here.

I've got one going very cheap (only minor incisions)

only minor eh? i didnt know an angle grinder had a "minor" setting lol
yeah will post up in the wanted section...
sorry for all the noobish-ness- tis my first big bike and we all gotta start someplace.
been riding around for 2 years on an Aprilia RS125, so i had to learn quick on that one lol

can't you fix the crack with some araldite? my clocks were broken on my race bike but managed to fix it with the araldite putty, works really well and sets like stone. Costs about £5

Si

problem is the crack goes right through to the otherside.. dont really wanna risk gettin araldite in the engine...

Smoky,

Check your messages, PM sent.

Regards,

Dave.

take the cover off then, then fix it???
