Got the starter clutch out, utube videos were a big help.
The case is cracked, seems to be a common failure.
Waiting for gaskets now.

Finally getting some rides in after waiting weeks for different parts.
More to do, I bought clip-on handlebars from an 83 GPz because they're lower and more forward, I have long arms.
Need new tires but I'll wait until next season, plus some carb adjustments, power drops off at 8,000 RPM.

Had a hard time with the rear brake system. Eventually replaced everything except the pedal.
The Kawasaki rear master cylinder seems to be very much the same for many of their bikes, with slight differences.
I did rear brake jobs on 3 of my bikes. They do get taken for granted.1982 GS1100G-
