starter

I'm in the process of replacing the "infamous" starter clutch with the heavy duty model on "fleabay". I checked my Clymer manual and cannot find the Torque for the three starter clutch to flywheel bolts. Can anyone provide this?

Hey there, I have an 06 vmax that I just rebuilt the carbs on. Also replaced the battery and the starter clutch, new plugs too. I get spark on all 4, it's not the brightest I've seen on a motorcycle but it looks sufficient. If you were me what would you check for? Any help would be...

I have a 2003 and 2006 Vmax and have the same problem with both. I have a problem where the starter does not seem to be engaging the flywheel. I replaced the starter thinking the gear might be worn down, but the same problem exists, where it makes a rattling sounds and occassionally catches...

Greetings fellow Maxxers. I decided to start a new thread on this age old problem. I have a 2000 vmax that for the past month has vexed me starting with the carbs acting up and having issues starting and idle. I did the peashooter and cleaned the hell out of it and it did start and...

Does anyone know how hard it is to remove the starter? I just purchased a 1999 VMax with a starter issue. I'm not sure what it is, it sounds like a bendix spring (if they have one) in the starter, but the guy I bought it from said he had the left eng side cover off so I am thinking the starter...

This is the stock Yamaha 2 brush starter. I had to go up to a 4brush with the mods on my bike. This would crank it fine while cold but once warmed up it would crank to slow for my liking. $20 or trade for?

Mornin all. My 05 has started making strange sounds when I try to start it. I found a video on YouTube of a bike with the same sound. Is this the starter clutch that is causing this? The starter clutches that I see on Ebay from Ideal engine parts, are these quality items? What is the best tool...

Has anyone used one of these Heavy Duty One Way Starter Clutches (with 6 rollers) ? http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=enginesourcing&_armrs=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR10.TRC0.A0.H0.Xvmax.TRS0&_nkw=vmax&_sacat=0 I just ordered one for $69.99 and I'm hoping...

I found this on ebay, New starter clutch looks good to me. I have not order 1 though but I may do it later on. I thought if some in vmaxforum looking to replace there's. This 1 maybe a better alternative Price 109.99...

Hello out there! Need help again. Put on a "new starterclutch", and it worked for about four good starts. Then as you can guess, no start. It engages for a couple cranks then the starter starts to free wheel. Over and over with no grinding sounds, like I heard before I replaced. So I took it...

Does anyone have info for the guy that does the mod on the starter clutch? He puts in a new sprag clutch. Thanks!

Help !!!!! Need help trying to understand why my starter spins. But does not engage the flywheel. 2005 VMax low miles. New battery. Is this a common problem. Do i need a new starter. Or can the bendix be rebuild ( if thats the problem). A week ago it started right up. I've got a battery charger...

I'm looking at replacing my starter and the starter relay switch. I found online 2002 starter yamaha model 1FK-81890-00-00 for $269.00. Will this 1 fit my 1992 bike. I seen on ebay vmax starters after market going for $89.00 to $150.00 Any 1 use the after market starters and what company you...

I have just started a full restoration of my 85, it does have a 98 motor, took out the starter and found first off both mounting bolts loose, top one backed off completely, I bought the bike late in the season, rode it 20 miles home and put it inside the house, stopped off for fuel and had...

So my new relay arrived. However there was something different than the one i already had on the bike. There were two cables coming out. A green and red one which connected to the cable that the older one was connected to, and a black one which i have no idea where it goes. I thought it was a...

Just want to double check...I had hot starting problems, cold starting problems, had to jump start the bike 10 times this summer. The starter would just barely turn over and start the bike. Today I went to start it, no go. It just turned the engine once and then the starter did not seem to have...

I have in my gen1 1200vmax, well known hot start problem. One theory about that is that starter shaft expanding due heating of the engine. So if i put collector to lathe and take of..lets say like 0.05mm of from shaft. pic 1 below. Is that solution? The shaft have bearings in both end, so its...

Which company has the best heavy duty aftermarket starter with a lot of torque for easy starting? My motor has bigger Ross pistons that I bought from Morley and the compression is higher than stock. This OEM starter is having to work a lot harder to get her turned on. I see one by Ricks...

I tried starting the bike after a flat battery using a booster. I drove it until the battery charged and then when i tried starting it i heard a small knock from the starting clutch. The bike started ok and has been behaving ok for a couple of days. Should i start worrying for the starting clutch?

Just wondering, has anyone bought and tried the starter clutch and gear on ebay? Just wondering if it's a good product or not. Here is the link for the auction. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321314845789?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true
