lol well all I know is, that the clutch lever and clutch pedal are on the left, so are you talking about the actual clutch disc? Because if not, im confused!
Oh well, doesn't really matter.
Once i get them synced, then i'll see what it sounds like and go from there.
It could just be a valve problem.....im practically expecting it.
I've already got a few oil leaks up around the valve cover area, and one coming out of the top of the exhaust pipe where it bolts onto the engine.
I don't mean to make the bike sound like a complete piece of ****, it really isn't, lol.

The clutch lever, cable and actuation mechanism are on the left. The actuator pushes a rod which goes through the engine to disengage the clutch pack on the right. So yes, the clutch is actually on the right side of the engine. On my GS550 I pour my oil in right onto the clutch disc pack

These clutches are noisy so that's why the right side is louder than the left.

His is a 650g, the clutch is actuated by a lever on top of the case, directly above the clutch plates, on the right.
V8, the oil issues are something I still am fighting with my 650s. They are now just a small weeping problem, they show up as black dirt stuck to engine.
I have replaced all gaskets and still see a little oil here and there. I just get used to cleaning it. Just keep a keen eye on the oil level.
