    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.

Starter Cluch repair, problems…

I need access to the starter clutch components, it's slipping and I figure it just needs new springs.

Has anybody pulled the rotor off the end of the crankshaft on an 1100G?

Looks like it just needs to be pulled off with a gear puller, but it is stubborn. I broke a Harbor Freight gear puller already.


 
I got one of these. I had to lean on it pretty hard with a long breaker bar to get it off. You don't want a poor-quality puller. What size thread is your bike? They seem to vary.

Ok, I can see how that works. Where do I find one?
My shaft thread reads 35mm.

Thanks a bunch! I found one at Parts Giant.

After taking the flywheel off and disassembly, the starter clutch was rather damaged but looked repairable, just replace the bolts, springs and pushers.
Bummer, one of the pushers would not come out of it's hole.
I got lucky and found a left side cover with a new stator, including a flywheel & starter clutch all in good shape.
Bike started up, running smooth and is generating 14v.
