Inner clutch cover

[zoran]

lean bike on left side. drain oil, have beer and come back in few hours. 
fish washer with magnet.
there are 3 spots on cover where you can use pry bar to unglue it from 
cases. make sure all bolts are out before doing it. 3 bolts that hold water 
pump also hold cover to case.

Hi All!

I have a first gen that I am in the process of swapping the shift star, 
spring, and arm for a better version. Going through the outer clutch cover 
was fine (apparently have small enough hands). Two things have come up. The 
first is apparently there was a washer behind the arm that I didn't realize, 
nor feel and it fell to the bottom somewhere and I have torn the inside 
portion of the gasket material. I wouldn't have thought that to be an issue, 
but I now see a little antifreeze inside the bottom of the case. It wasn't 
there before I started. I cannot see the washer and the magnet isn't picking 
it up. I figured I needed to pull the inner clutch cover to find the missing 
washer and replace the gasket. I have tapped on the outside of the case with 
a plastic ended hammer, pulled and tugged. I cannot seem to get the cover to 
come off. On my GSX-R, it came off after the appropriate amount of force. 
Not so on the SV. Any suggestions on how to get this cover off? Thanks!

Wendell
