I'm trying to remove the starter clutch from the crankcase
How do I disengage it so I can slip it off the secondary shaft?

 

I posted pictures on the other/similar post dave. Just the oem stuff that is. good luck.

 

Thanks!

 

Thought I'd let you know. I gave it another shot this morning and the secondary shaft came out. The starter clutch fits onto the secondary shaft very tightly so I used a long metal bar with a blunt end. Placed it against the left side of the shaft and kept tapping away until - eventually it came out the right side of the bike
Here are some pix I put on Picasa:

One of the springs in the starter clutch seems to be shot which, hopefully is why the bike was only making a rattling sound when I pushed the start button, and not catching

Thanks for the help!

 

right on, thanks for the educational update.

 

Here are some pix of the starter clutch
One of the springs was broken
Amazing a little thing like this could wreak so much havoc!

Now - to put it all back together and see if it works!

I fixed the starter clutch and but her back in
and - - it works!!
Started right up!!
One hitch though

Before I repaired the starter clutch it would not start at all - just the "rattling" noise when I pushed the start button

I still get the rattle but infrequently
My guess is - it'll get worse if I don't do something about it

Sounds like I'm shaking gravel in a coffee can

Something else is going on and I haven't got a clue - - -

Any thoughts?
