My ‘78 has a peg inside that bearing.

Hello, thanks for Your videos . It really helps me . I have one question - minute 1:17 where you explain about the washer when you have it on cover and that cover place from inside there is a pin . What is a purpose of that pin? because mine is broken off the whole corner together with pin. and I am thinking whether to weld it back aluminium and install it or not?

The guide pin is to centre the side cover into position. It’s not under heavy load so I’d just install the cover without it.

Hey, I just changed my clutch too, but now the clutch lever has little to absolute no tension and it doesnt disconnect the motor from the gearbox when pulled anymore. Any thoughts on what I did wrong?

Have to pull the cover off. Something is not right. Watch my video @5:50mins.

How do you adjust the clutch cable. I have an 81 xl250s it looks the same internally.

The cable is held by a bracket near the side cover of the motor. Loosen the two nuts and adjust the cable length.
