My 1100e made so many noises down low that I parked it for 11 years. Clutch nut, clutch basket and starter clutch. In this photo, the top spring is actually broken in two and all the rest are loose. It's one more thing to check.

I had to replace my clutch hub nut with an APE hub nut. The '82 hub nuts & final drive splinters are made from material that I'd just plainly too soft. Your job nut with not hold torque & continue to slip threads until you replace it.

I bought a steel core hub from Blowerbike Terry to replace this as well. I agree that the original is too soft to hold torque
