Hi, I need advice on removing the clutch cover on my 29L rz250r ypvs.(essentially same as ypvs350). I’ve removed all visible screws, oil pump and water pump cover but it seems reluctant to come apart around the water pump area and I don’t want to force it or break anything. Also should the clutch arm just pull up and out after the retainer bolt is removed? Thanks in advance.

If all the screws are out, could be just sealer holding it on, tap gently with a small plastic mallet. The water pump and oil pump gears should move apart easy enough but maybe the water joint was siliconed causing it to be a bit obstinate.
Clutch arm won't remove until you withdraw the clutch pushrod slightly. Be careful the ball bearing doesn't fall out and roll into a far corner of the garage while doing it.

Thanks for the advice I have been gently tapping with a rubber mallet but not moving around the pump area. I’ll be firmer with it next time I’m in the garage 👍🏼

Just stuck Id think. Maybe the PO glued the gasket in place. If you lever it, do it externally with something like wood, not on the edges.
Defo worth getting a manual for the bike, which can be downloaded but physical is better in the garage with dirty fingers imho. This may have avoided you undoing some of the screws as they dont hold the cover at all, ie the WP and oil pump stuff.
Also worth reading around on this forum as there is a lot of good info here about things like the clutch arm etc.

It’s definitely not the gasket that is stuck as has come away nearly all the way around apart from above the water pump. Oil pump need to come off anyway as leaking and I thought I may as well inspect the water pump before the case goes for coating. I’ll apply a bit more pressure next time I’m in the garage. Thought I’d ask here first in case a I might damage something. Thanks

Just check you have all 9 cover screws removed
If so it's likely someone has sealed the water joint at the top of the case

Thanks for the advice, it gave me the confidence to be a bit more determined with it as there definitely wasn’t any screws left in so I used a hammer shaft to lever against the barrel and under the ‘shoulder on the case. It was just stuck on the water joint so it’s now apart and clutch arm also out. Looks like it’s never been apart which is good. So it’s order in for all new seals and off for coating. Thanks again.
