I guess you mean to the left of the sprocket? That's where the clutch push rod goes.

Unrelated, it seems that the sprocket washer is kinda messed up.
Also, I would clean up the neutral light switch connector & crimp the wire terminal a tad to get a good tight fit.

There should also be a loose ball bearing that fits between the push rod and the clutch release plate....make sure that hasn't gone for a stroll around your garage too if it's a KZ 900/1000....by the way what bike do you have?

The ball bearing can't fall out, on the sprocket side, on a 550, and I think the same is true for the 750.

It can fall out on the clutch side.
