Is this clutch release fork re-useable?
I am trying to assess what needs replacing in my clutch. I've been told my clutch plate has a lot of miles left on it, and my flywheel looks good. What about this clutch release fork though? There are no cracks at the normal places, but there are light scratches and minor scuffs on one arm.

It appears fine to me.

Put a slight amount of extreme pressure grease on those contact points when you reinstall the fork.

I had a fork that looked similar...but worn a little more.
I welded on some hard coat and ground it down smooth afterwards, polished, and lubed before re-install. Worked for me...but with yours...it depends on the amount of wear. Bob

I'd replace it. The clutch will operate allot smoother.

just toss it - they often crack near the base of the horseshoe
new one is cheaper than testing it and then there's the wear... |
