84 XT600 Clutch Cover Needed.
I'm in need of a right side clutch cover for my 84 XT600. It has a hair line crack about the kick starter that goes all the way to the edge of the case. because of of the stress from the kick starter the crack cracked through my jb weld attempt to fix it. It doesn't leak bad, it just seeps a very little amount of oil. I would like to get another case so when the crack does worsen I'm not stuck without a bike. And I don't have the cash for a brand new one. Thanks!

I,d be tempted to lay the bike on its side........remove clutch cover and have it welded.......refit and no need to drain the oil....its an option and cheaper than new...

You should have it TIG welded and it'll be good as new or better!

I bought an 88 because of the kick starter, guy thought it was cracked, but it wasn't. Anyway I now have a 3/8 hardish rubber stop for the kick lever to hit and gradually stop. I'm hoping to not have it crack. I did find several just a couple weeks ago by going to the salvage yards ebay store. Not all items are listed or come up in a search so you may have to spend some time going through pages and pages of meaningless parts to find it, they are out there and generally not that pricey, There is a low mileage motor for sale right now that is awfully tempting, just to keep the bike alive for a good long while.

I welded a "kickstop" - thick piece of 316 stainless steel - directly to my footstand!

but yeah, it can be TIG welded if you have the correct filler rod!

I did see a clutch cover for a '90 on Ebay, I typed in a search for "XT600 parts" (I was looking for another cdi) and it came up somewhere around page 10. didn't save a link but the name of the store is World Wide Motorcycle Parts and more. It is a little different and is for the electric start model but I believe you can take out the kickstart insert.

The '90 will fit on the clutch side, If you can wait a bit there should be cheaper ones coming up otherwise. That guy is one of the ripoffs as far as prices and shipping goes.

Mezo, he is in Bend, Oregon US. shipping may be not worth it coming from Europe. That is a guess.

Actually I found a bottom end for electric start over there(can't translate either) if something could be worked out to ship the parts together and share shipping cost( obviously I would need to pay a bit more). Anyone that can help

Mezo!
Of course it will fit.I did that on my 85 55W.
The Ténéré Forum &bull; View topic - rebuilding a 55W in Buenos Aires
There you will see the diferences on the kick area(stronger zone around seal)
I strongly recomend you to buy that 3TB cover.All parts are mechanized to use kick even if the nike was only electric start.
