Missing Parts

I'm very new to these bikes and had one fall in my lap recently.  I was told the chain broke.  The sprocket cover is missing but I have found a couple chunks of it.  I started the bike today for the first time.  I noticed the oil coming out.  I took some pictures and I hope you guys can tell me what is missing so I can pick one up.  These pictures are taken of the left side by the sprocket.
The bike is an 86 FJ1200

This is where the oil came from.  The round part facing you.  what goes here?

Here is another shot back a bit.  What else do you see that is missing?  I know the cover.  Anything else you can see would help as well.

You appear to be missing the drive chain.  :-)

Also, your clutch actuation rod is gone.  That's the source of your oil leak.

Thanks for the link, it backs up what I found when I looked.  It shows the rod as discontinued, does anyone have one laying around they don't need?

Check with Randy at RPM www.rpmracingca.com, he is our FJ parts Go-To guy.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

If Randy can't help you out, try these guys

http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/1986/FJ1200S/CLUTCH/parts.html

Looks like boats.net has the part in stock. Just a scant $16.32

And if the rod is missing, you may want to go ahead and get the ball. Just in case it's part#26.

Hope this helps,

Maybe I should get several of them to keep in a quiver for the rally games. (Cat spearing at 50 yards.   Mee-YOWCH!!!)

OK I've been digging and here's my new problem.



How do I get this out??? :flag_of_truce:

I ordered the new one and a new ball too.  Is there anything I need to know about the change out?  Like don't drop the ball or something?  But first..I need to get the half that's in there out!!

Harvy

First things first mate........get some degreaser and give that whole area a cleanup. Looks like you also have a broken bolt in the hole above the pushrod. The seal is almost certainly cactus too.

You are probably going to have to dismantle the clutch form the other side of the motor to get that sucker out of there...... good time to inspect the fibre plates and steels, and maybe install a new pressure spring.

Do you have a manual?
FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

ribbert

If that's the clutch pushrod I can see the end of you can draw it out with a magnet, it offers no resistance. If it's burred over where it's broken, pop the seal out, it will be knackered anyway then you can grab hold of it.
There is nothing holding it in there.
