broken starter clutch

[steve]

The bike worked super for thousands of miles until the stator failed a few weeks ago.  I replaced it and the bike worked great again.  Then Friday night the starter decided not to work.  Knowing the problems with the clutch I went right to work getting the cover off and with some effort, the flywheel.  Of course the flywheel went flying about a foot when it came loose but the springs and other parts went at least three feet completely missing my blanket!  Unfortunately, the clutch itself was cracked and the holes in the flywheel were totally distorted.  Too bad I didn't catch it sooner!  There is a wrecking yard with a 82 vision nearby but they're closed Sunday and Monday so I guess I'm driving the truck for a few days.  Maybe I'll see what they want for the whole engine!?   Bike has a tad under 31,000 miles.

seems like starter clutches are starting to reach their life expectancy..... there have been a rash of cracked ones this year....

a recent check of th eyammie shop, once they admitted the vision was a bike they built, was fruitful, the starter clutch ,springs and pins are all available, not too high priced either. have seen them sell for more on e-bay

Steve, you are about 5k over the line.
