: ok guys hope this helps you all out,like i
: said i had this problem for ten years,when
: the engine is hot and you press the starter
: button ,the engine turns over slowly(or not
: at all),similar to having a flat battery,i
: bought numerous batterys and new starter
: motors(you may remember me asking for
: starter motors on this forum ?)it turned out
: to be the starter clutch,what you need yo do
: is ,start the bike,warm it up untill it's
: ideling smoothly,without stopping the motor
: ,take out the starter motor,poke your finger
: into the hole and feel for the cog that the
: starter mortor engages with,it shouldn't be
: turning or shouldn't take much finger
: pressure to stop it(it is safe to poke your
: finger in while the engine is running)with
: your finger on the cog ,slowley increase the
: revs if as the engine speed increases you
: find that you can't stop the cog turning
: then your starter clutch is naff,i got one
: at a breakers for ten pounds off of a suzuki
: gs 850,there are many bikes that use the
: same starter clutch,so they aint hard to
: get,also sometimes the three bolts that hold
: the starter clutch together sometimes work
: loose (mine did all the time,no matter how
: much i tightened them,so i put a little tack
: weld to stop that)and engage with the big
: ring gear,so what happens is ,that the
: starter motor is going round with the
: engine,gets hot,partially seizes and then
: won't turn the engine over,once this has
: happened the starter motor is knackered and
: will need replacing(even though it works if
: you take it out and put it on a
: battery,trust me on this)hopefully this will
: sort the problem,would appreciate feedback
: from anyone who tries this,my numbers are
: 01752 301083 or 07795817540,this problem
: drove me mad over ten years and caused a lot
: of embarrasement for me, so guys try it and
