Didn't think of that but if you can get one locally at the hardware store that's the best bet... still a good idea to keep a few spares since all the woodruff keys in these engines are all the same so if you ever misplace the one from your bevel gear or mag rotor, they are all the same size.

Hey all!
I found the woodruff key, and was able to put the whole bike back together. It runs now, but not as prime as it was before. It's like I hear something highpitched when it's running. I'm gonna ride it out for a few more miles and see what is up.

Thanks the help!

did you remember to grease bucking bar well and not get grease on clutch pads

Yup I sure did!

But I found that one of the rear engine mount studs had broken off, and that's probably what the high pitch sound is.

I figure it broke off when I was hammering in(or out) the clutch shaft.

Glad you sorted it out. Now buy better mounting hardware

That was what I did actually, but I guess there was just too much force from the hammer.

I'm also glad I sorted it out
