help ty80!! help ty80!! help ty80!!?
hi all have just got the lad a classic ty80 (brings back some great memories).The only thing is theres something wrong with the clutch. The chain had come of the front cog and got tangled up, so i had to take the side casing of (left hand-side)
which is where the clutch cable go's in and noticed there was a small bar that was bent which pushes into a hole but is loose in there and i can't see what the clutch cable lever should move???? any ideas would be great. thanks ( a disappointed dad)

the bar is the push rod for the clutch, when you pull the clutch in it slides through the engine to the clutch, the bar should be straight
The rod is to activate the clutch. I used to have a couple of 1970's YZ80's and always had the rod bend when a chain came off. The rod(bar?) needs to be straight. you can try to straighten it yourself but the Yamaha may still get new parts for that.
grand old bikes them...i think if i remember rightly,its a worm drive mech...its fitted in the casing ,when you pull the clutch it moves the worm drive towards the engine which pushes the rod that disengages the cluth.
