Re: Starter Motor problem

Replacement parts have now arrived courtesy of flea bay. Befor fitting though I wonder if anyone can confirm how many Allen bolts should be used to attach the clutch sprag to the rotor. There are six holes but I only have three Allen bolts. Could be that the previous owner has been tinkering and ...

Re: Starter Motor problem

Success as I have managed to remove rotor using the flywheel puller and hot water method. Many thanks for the advice!!! Nearly crapped myself as I wasn't expecting a crack sound when the rotor gave way and came loose. Sprag clutch appears to be held onto the back of the rotor by three star/Allen ...

Re: Starter Motor problem

Ventured into the garage tonight to have a go at undoing the flywheel nut. Had her indoors standing on the brake pedal with gearbox in 5th but all to no avail. Bike was on paddock stand so will try again at the weekend with bike on the ground. Will also try warming the nut up with the boiling water ...

Re: Starter Motor problem

Right then it looks like copious amounts of boiling water being poured over the flywheel shortly before turning the flywheel puller. Best get a bucket ready as we'll then. Looking forward to the "experience"later in the week. Failing that it will get some attention from my rubber mallet.

Have sen one on Yambits web site for £17 which looks safer than some of the other methods I have seen on Youtube where folks are using bolts that thread I tot the end of the crankshaft and then wallop it with a ...

Re: Starter Motor problem

Have now got access and it looks like it is the problem. Tried turning the starter gear by hand that connects the starter motor and the starter clutch gear sometimes it just spins and sometimes it turns the motor overso am assuming that's where the problem lies. Am having trouble though undoing the ...

Re: Starter Motor problem

Just been through the thread in detail. So out with the spanners me thinks to take a look. Not sure what I am looking for but won't know till I take a look I guess. Was moving the bike earlier today and tried the starter whilst bike was on side stand. Sounded like it was trying to engage before ...
