    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 clutch gear play

No. Looks like you will be pulling the rotor and clutch to replace the three screws.

WARNING: pull them out together, then separate them SLOWLY. There should be 3 rollers, 3 pins and 3 springs. If not done slowly, parts will fly.

THANKS! I figued as much but its great to be sure before pulling it apart. Im excited that I may have found my noise!
 
UPDATE: My three screws holding the clutch together were fine. I got to looking at it and could see the basket wasn't sitting all the way down on the tapered spindle. Few hits on the 17mm bolt with the impact and everything is nice and snug now! I am doing valve adjustments and cam tensioner rebuild while its down so I will have to update later about the noise but I'm optimistic that it should be good.
 
Thanks for that follow-up.
I have an 1150 engine that i am going to inspect for the same issue.

What engine were you dealing with?

'83 GS750E With 8500 miles on it. I am the third owner, I had an 83 GS100E as my daily driver for several years back in the 90's but I have only had this 750 for a few months still fixing the previous owners mistakes, he replaced the stator but I can't imagine he pulled the basket off. It's been fun discovering all the strange bad mechanic work that has happened including one of the float needles being installed UPSIDE DOWN!!! LOL

I found an impact is almost essential to removing that bolt holding the starter clutch basket on. Mine was very tight even with the basket not fully seated.
