    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.

left end crank damage

It's the remote starter plate that I have. Tried to set up a on board starter but no luck
 
Got a reply from MPE they can't help me. Maybe something they did at one point, but don't anymore????
 
For the non self start guys, we made these outboard bearing starter plates that all but eliminated the broken crank ends.

Jay, more & more of us are going back to self starting & need you to figure out how to support the crank end WITH a starter clutch assembly in there. Ray.
 
I'd second that! The off board starter is a PITA when everthing could be built so it's on board
 
Do it quick. I'm about to make my own using a stock cover. The plan is to tie everything together.

not me I'm going back to external start. I have done this both ways and learned my lesson.

#1 less racing weight
#2 less to malfunction
#3 less stress on bike's tiny total loss electrical system
#4 other external starters are instantly compatible to start bike in a pinch
#5 less stress on big starter and BIG batteries and therfore longer life

in the very first year of having my first on board starter it malfunctioned and I was out all the entry fees at a 2 wheel speed event. Having a slider clutch meant no pop starting. Now if I had a out board starter nut I could have used some one elses starter to keep racing that day. I can honestly say," My big outboard starter has NEVER FAILED NEVER let me down in multiple years and helped many other racers that needed last second assistance at the water box/starting line".


however, your work on that plate does look very good.
 
Counterpoint

I have never had a onboard starter fail, however I always have run a charging system.

I have mostly raced classes where it is required to self start.
 
I ordered the bearing from Mcmaster today. I'll post up some pics of what I come up with when I'm done. You guys and a friend of mine have convinced me that it's the way to go.
