Looking for an early 2000s XT600E Clutch Cover
Hello Yammy Community,
I'm looking for someone who is willing to sell a clutch cover for a 2004-2006 Yamaha XT600E and send to Mexico City.
eBay or other means works for me
Drop me a line
Thanks!

maybe tell us the story of this bike? something doesnt make sense...
from the pictures the it looks like this crashed bike has been out there for ages, no hint of oil in the clutch or filter area, thats odd. likely that water entered the engine too.
and all that front end damage, how are you fixing all that?
is the frame even straight?
I do have a clutch cover, but I want to understand first what going on here.... doesnt smell good

I thank everyone for their reply,
As requested, a brief story on why and how my bike came to be in that condition:
A year ago I got slammed by a semi truck that drove on my side of the road. I wasn't able to avoid it so there's that.
A series of surgeries later and months of therapy after I'm finally able to take on restoring my XT. The insurance company has kept my motorcycle under consignment looking to pay me off, but I'm really attached to that bike.
Sadly they keep my motorcycle as many others out in the open...
At a first glance, there seems to be enough damage to consider it totaled but looking at it up close it's not a s bad as one might think.
I came across an abandoned early 90's XT600 where I'm planning to salvage the front end, wheel, and several other bits. But I'm still missing the clutch cover and headers.
Yamaha says they don't have the headers listed any more, and the clutch cover takes 3 to 4 months to ship to Mexico.
So that is my main reason asking this group for help
Finally, I have come to learn that 90's and early 2000' XT's aren't that popular here in Mexico, which has made finding parts a lot harder that other japanese thumpers.
At any rate, I appreciate the fact there is an XT600 Community out there to share experiences and give support.
Cheers to all!
Ricardiaco

I have headers, but shipping will cost a fortune.. All headers from 90 will fit, was only protection plate that is different. If you cant find buy aftermarked stainless they look great forever

Sorry to hear and see, if its any encouragement, i broke on the street my tibia and perone, needed a fixing plate too.
1 year later, plate removed, i was back to road racing in the italian vintage championship.
besides the cover, the main problem i see is that if the bike was kept on its side like in your first picture, rain water have entered the engine throuogh the broken cover and oil filter. you will have to open the engine to check how the parts are. im almost certain that if you take out the engine drain plug, you will see water coming out. of course hope that is not the case, but if it is, really doubt its worth fixing.
the other thing i wrote you is that with such impact the frame is likely not straight. there i sno way of knowing that until you put it on a jig to check.
do 1+1, as much as you like the bike, might make a lot more sense getting the money from insurance and buying another XT to ride instead of trying fixing a non fixable bike.
