Subject: How do you remove left side crankcase cover on CL350?

I'm talking about the rear cover of course, the front one with the stator comes off easy enough, but i need to use a bungee to hold the weight of the assembly off the wiring.

I'm trying to get into the starter clutch is my reasoning for removing the rear cover and then eventually the front cover.

I am not sure what I'm being hung up on, if it is internal linkage or if it is the clutch cable.

Also, if there are any tips and tricks not to screw thisup will be welcomed!

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,
Once you have the shift linkage and the four cover bolts removed the cover should just come off by hand, if not there is a dowel pin on the lower side of the cover that can cause it to stick because it has become corroded. In that case use some penetrating oil on the dowel area and then some vigorous wiggling should get it off. Good luck. emoticon

so then, it will hang by the clutch cable?

I suppose it is possible to be hanging by the dowell.

There was a tight fitting dowell on the front cover that i was able to manage. I guess the potential for internal linkage was making me cautious.

Thanks

Yes, you can let the clutch cable stay with the cover or you can remove it by unhooking it from the clutch lifter on the backside of the cover.
Also watch out for the steel ball bearing that fits between the clutch push rod and the clutch lifter as this can sometimes fall out during disassembly.There really is nothing else under the cover you should have to deal with.
Happy riding. emoticon

Great info, thanks.

I am not going to have a chance for the next while to work on this, maybe even for two weeks, a hectic schedule to say the least.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks.
