    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Bought replacement starter from Rick's Motorsports. Doesn't fit?

So which of these items would you recommend replacing? Is this the entire starter clutch assembly or are there more parts that are missing from this schematic? I will take the cover off and take pics as soon as i get a chance. I think the spring I found on the ground is the spring in the picture (item number 6). It was about that size and had j hooks on each side.

You may need a #4 which is very pricey. You can do better in price.
Take it apart and have a look.
You will need a puller on the rotor.
 
I apologize. I completely forgot to update yall on this situation. I have been working full time and took the bike to a shop thinking i would get it back nice and quick and i'd be riding again and saving gas/having fun in no time. I was wrong. The shop has had it for almost a month. :eek: Getting it back today finally hopefully. :D Got some nice new parts to put on when i do get it. Exhaust wrap,Old school grips and billet circle bar end mirrors to name a few. Also put some yamaha baby apes i got for 5 bucks at a swap meet on there. I will share new pics when i get a chance. Thanks for everyone's help with this.

Thanks man. I woulda had it back by now but i was getting ready to finish up work and go get it and i was cleaning one last weld when i got hit in the forehead with a steel ring about 6 inches in diameter and 3 inches wide. The buffer wheel sucked it in and flung it back at me. Nine stitches in the forehead lol. Gotta wait till tomorrow now dang it. :D oh and the ape is a dude. His name is Grills.:p
