Here’s a bike that was brought into work the other day, the guy has bought it a year ago, would not start so he put in his shed for a year and has now decided to let the “experts” (me lol) have a look at the cause of the fault.
Good battery, key on, hit the starter button and just a click and a whirring noise.
Yup, you guessed it, starter clutch problem!
I pulled the cover off and found this…..
She’s an original example,
The plungers for the rollers are damaged and won’t go again.
Key is sheared off and remains are in the key way of the starter clutch…
Below, she’s had the points ignition replaced with an old Skool transistorised ignition…
Below, the woodruff key is sheared off…
What a delight, also, the steering head bearings were so tight the steering would barely move.
She needs some love and Kiwi is the chosen one for that lmao!
