Do I need this part?

[Guest]

Ok so I got a second gs750. It's a 77 and since it's gonna be kickstart only. I was wondering since the starter is gonna be gone can I get rid of these 2 things.

It's attached to the fly wheel

And here's how the bike sits

You need the stator rotor or you will have no charging system. You will have to machine a spacer if you remove the starter clutch drive gear.

Sorry I no I need the sator but the part that's is bolted to the back of it for the starter gear. Can I remove that? And why would I need a spacer I thought the sator was held in place by the crank since a tapped end.

Anyone?

[JEEPRUSTY]

You need both the rotor and stator..
You will gain little by removing the starter clutch mechanism.

I am not sure but the whole crank assembly may be balanced with this in place.

All evidence removed.

Easiest just to remove the starter motor and plug the hole. Leave the starter clutch on the crank.

So I need all but the starter and little gear? Damn I thought it would be like a car far as lighter fly wheel better throttle response. Hmmmm gonna try it anyways and see what happens lol

Notice to forum: 78 GS750 for parts soon to be available. Blown engine.

It's not a flywheel (I'm pretty sure I typed the same response a month ago)

The starter gear does not rotate with the crank, so it has no effect on throttle response or crank mass or balance

While pulling it may seem like a good idea, you'd have to get a custom spacer machined to go between the rotor and the case - so, $500 to lose 4 lbs of nonrotating mass?

You do the math

Just pull the starter out, and, if you must, the idler gear, pin and washers. Plug the hole where the starter comes through the case with a rubber plug
