Clutch rod query.. Pics

[triniriderz]

Ok fired up the XS for the first time this evening and made a stupid mistake of not fitting the LHS engine case ..

So the bike started "yippy" and after I had done a victory lap of the garden I had noticed that the Clutch rod along with a ball bearing had come out the side of the engine see pic..

Rod just to the left of the front sprocket spline (like you didnt know )
This caused a bit of a oil leak to say the least .. Was I ok this just putting the ball bearing and the rod inplace???? or have I made a BooBoo

Yep, just stick it back in. No harm, no foul.

The nut that holds the sprocket goes on with the counter sunk side toward the sprocket. The counter sunk of the nut fits over the shaft splines to push the lock tab into the splines.
