Accessing the Clutch on a 1986 RZ250

[pkay]

A quick question - can you get to the clutch without having to remove the engine. The manual has all the work being done with the engine out of the bike which I am trying to avoid. The clutch has stuck after sitting for a while without running so I want to check and clean the plates.

Thanks for the tips

Check that the side cover will not foul on anything while the engine is in.

Pretty sure I have done clutch work on my LC engine with it still in the frame. Shouldn't be much different, unless the clutch setup in the top case of the RZ prevents it.

yep pull the RH clutch cover off... not 5mins work, but not engine out.

Thanks guys - I'll give it a go and see what happens!
