Clutch Cover Removal

[jchbusa]

All

I need to replace my clutch cover as the bike rode of it's stand when I was just about the trailer it, yes my fault as it was a very slight slope and I thought it would be ok. Hate the sound a Busa makes when it hits the floor. Lesson learnt the hard way there :-(
Anyway I have my replacement cover but realise that as the clutch is wet then supposedly mean that I have to drain the engine oil.
Is there possibly a trick to replace the cover without draining?

Put it on it's kickstand.. The oil will move to the left of the engine and won't drain out. That is as long as you don't have too much oil in it.

But the kickstand is on the left of the bike same side as the clutch cover?

Stator cover is on the kickstand side.

get the manual !
read it !
then start turning some screws - i guess this way then you will save yourself a huge amount of trouble
and a lot of money.

sorry ;-)

Clutch on right, lever on left, get the pie

You can open the cover and change it WITHOUT draining the oil. However- there will be a small amount of oil coming out!

Use the opportunity to change your oil....

...and also check if the clutch "bolts" are glued in!

Looks like I have made a mistake or 3 on this as I thought the clutch cover was on the left hand side.
So at least I have a spare clutch cover now LOL
Looking for a Stator cover now.

Thanks for all the comments and yes I have the complete service manual but forgot.

Don't forget you'll need to switch over all the internals from your old stator cover into your new one.

Thanks for the extra info. I have a full manual so will do a bit of reading up before I attempt to change it.
Assume there are no liquids involved under this cover?

Yep there's oil in that one too. I dont think you can safely tilt the bike enough to get the oil out of the stator cover without laying it on its side. Like Mr Brown said, I'd change the oil while you're in there.

@jchbusa

ok - now left side - the stator´s cover

why do you wanna replace it?
scratches / broken ?

but what ever happened - i can strongly recommend the cover of the the alu-stator-cover wich is called "carbonadi"
see my post #19 in this thread

Thoughts on these frame sliders? | Gen 2 Busa Information

I'm wondering if these can be installed without even removing the fairings? What do you guys think? Are these just screw on or just worthless? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5337943218&icep_item=112871765403

and if you take it it off (for secureness) you better have a new gasket -
sometimes ! they tear/brake and then a new one is due / should be available.

and yes there is a bit oil unside but with a little bucket or pan/tub below you can collect it.

I would always have a rag on hand (old t-shirt or so - made of cotton).
