Binned it

**Cuban** · 6th May 2008, 22:37

Binned my lovely old, never binned before FZR today. Gutted, im ok bar a few scratches and the bike is suprisingly good...but pretty cut about it. Anyway, anyone know:
A) what this part is?
and
B) How much?

Its the only bit really that is hurt, doubt its worth bothering with insurance (just looked prop at policy and i have a $1000 excess, thats crazy!)

Anyway
Cheers for any help

Goto suck eh.
What are your sculpturing skills like ?
Buy a stick of that plastic metal and get creative

**Cruisin' Craig** · 6th May 2008, 22:50

I used the plastic metal when I did that to my old FZR back in the day. Mind you, yours is a bit more chewed up than mine was.
Then again, this site here suggests that a new cover is only about $35 US. Sounds like you might be ably to just get a totally new cover pretty cheap to me. http://www.gdlcycles.com/asp1/findme...Clutch%20Cover

PS: Nice bike by the way. Gotta love the old Yamahas.

Cheers, yeah she was in mint condition until yesterday too.
i think the link shows the bit on the bike on the other side!
Excuse my ignorance, but for parts purposes, could anyone let me know exactly what i have destroyed?

Cheers

I'd call that a clutch cover.

I vote crankcase cover, becouse Of this great site.

**Katman** · 7th May 2008, 17:59

Left hand crankcase cover, alternator cover, stator cover or flywheel cover. Take your pick - they're all different names for the same part.

Dunno, on my bike (and other bikes that I can recall) the clutch is on the right.

That is probably the proper term, that's what I call my covers, but on sportsbikes the clutch-side cover is round and looks like a clutch is underneath (unlike my bike and other older ones where it looks vaguely like a primary chain case), so they have got their own terminology.
