Is there any way of getting at a lost washer in the primary without taking the cover off. Ken

 

I'm fighting my urge to ask how it got there in the first place, but since you didn't mention it I won't either.

You could remove the inspection cover and poke around in there with a magnet, but I think I'd bite the bullet and drain the primary then just pull the whole cover. You might even luck out and find the washer on the plug magnet if it's a small one.

 

It has to do with a three year old helping papa. Ken

 

Are you missing any tools?

Fish it out with a magnet.......if that does not work or you give up trying, then unfortunatley, the only way to get it out is to remove the primary cover. Good luck with the magnet.....

 

Is taking the cover off a big deal.

 

Not a big deal to remove....An allen socket is preferred over the allen wrench. Simple job....

Have a primary gasket on hand, before removing the primary cover. You can sometimes get by reusing the gasket....not all the time.

Foot pegs, gearshifter, lowers....etc. These items may or maynot have to be removed depending on your bike. Every bike is different.....

Let us know exactly what bike you have though.....

Depends. Pull the derby or inspection cover and use a magnet. Might work.
