Hi Mark and welcome to our site. I’m sure we can help you through any problems. The starter clutch is a regular issue with these bikes. If you take it off you will hopefully be able to fit a refurb kit and away you go. We need to see and know a bit more before we can advise.
Whereabouts are you from?
Hello thanks for the reply when I got the bike the starter was slipping all the time got a repair kit of eBay the kit I took out looked as good as the one I took out.the starter is better but still slips ,on with fitting a nutronic ignition and a better battery.changed a lot of starter clutch’s in my time and now these bikes have issues with them.now spring is here will be concentrating on on my riders.live doncaster sout yorkshire
Hi Mark,
welcome !On the german Twin website there is a story about the starter clutch repair with a lot of pics.
https://www.z750twin.de/anlasserfreilauf.htmBe aware that the “body” of the starter clutch may have a crack. It is hard to see, because the metal sheet cover sits over it. Check carefully, the crack is often right there, where the roller sits in (weakest part of the “body”)
Cheers, Michael
hello Michael when I get back to the bike will take the clutch off and give it a check for cracks,had a quick look at the German site looks like the big twin were popular over there ,I have another bike that did not do well in the UK and has a big following in Germany a buell xb12s.i all so have a er250 gpz500 and a kh125 to keep it company. you can not have to meney toys ,can you
No, you can’t 😉
Two bikes belong to my spouse, two to my son, rest is mine 😉
The Buell is also very good on narrow racetracks, saw some of them out on the track.
This is “Incredible Marc” on his Buell:
Awesome !
