Do you have to split the engine to replace this stopper?
More i read about this it's more possible it's this...
I recover the bike yesterday (it was in someone back garden until i organize a van) and play around a bit.
My conclusion was - clutch works ok, i even managed to find the neutral playing with gear change lever (it felt very "wonky")... Interesting thing was - when on second or third gear (can't tell as shifting the gear was pretty messed up) you can push the bike without pulling a clutch (!!!) It feels "heavy" but there is no contact with piston or crank as its smooth (you can't feel or hear piston travel).
