The Royal Enfield 575496/D Shaft Clutch Release Arm is the genuine OEM clutch release shaft used across the 650 Twin platform – Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650. This hardened steel shaft sits inside the clutch / magneto cover and works with the clutch release arm, bearings and springs to convert your lever pull into smooth, precise clutch disengagement.

Over time, a worn or pitted clutch release shaft can cause a heavy, notchy or inconsistent clutch feel, extra play at the lever, and premature wear of the release bearings and oil seal. Replacing it with a brand-new, genuine 575496/D restores factory feel and reliability – especially important for bikes that see daily commuting, touring, or aggressive shifting.

Fitment is confirmed via official Royal Enfield microfiche and multiple authorised dealer catalogues for the 650 Twins only. The 575496/C and 575496/D revisions are direct supersessions of the same clutch release shaft design, so this part is a drop-in OEM replacement for affected 650 models and years.

If you’re rebuilding the clutch, changing covers, or fixing a damaged shaft after a crash or improper removal, this is the correct factory-spec clutch release shaft to use – not a local lathe-made substitute that can quickly chew up bearings and seals.

FAQs

Q1. Will 575496/D fit my 2024 Interceptor 650 (BS6) bought in India?
Yes. Official Euro5/BS6 parts catalogues for Interceptor 650 list 575496/D as the Shaft Clutch Release Arm in the engine covers / clutch release section.

Q2. Does this work on older 500 or 350 UCE Bullets or Classic models?
No. The 575496/D shaft is specific to the 650 Twin platform and does not appear in UCE or J-Series microfiche (Classic 350 Reborn, Meteor 350, Bullet 350 J, etc.).

Q3. What are the symptoms of a worn clutch release shaft?
Typical signs include heavy or sticky clutch action, inconsistent biting point, excessive play at the lever even after adjustment, and visible scoring/pitting on the shaft when removed. It’s best replaced during a clutch or cover rebuild before it damages needle bearings or the oil seal.

Q4. Is the spring or bearing included with this part?
No. This listing is only for the 575496/D shaft. The release spring, clevis, bearings, seals and bolts are separate part numbers in the engine covers fiche and must be ordered individually if required.

Q5. Can I install this at home?
If you’re comfortable removing the clutch / magneto cover and working with gaskets, bearings and seals, it can be a DIY job. However, most owners will prefer to get it fitted by a competent Royal Enfield mechanic to ensure correct reassembly, torque settings and clutch adjustment.
