    Starter clutch removal

    I am sure this has been up a million times but I am in a buddies garage, no computer
    and searcbing on my phone really does not work.

    Please please tell me how to get the starter clutch bolt out, the one that holds the rotor etc.

      Not gonna be easy without impact gun.

      put in gear, get your buddy to stand on the rear brake and have a long breaker bar and come on to her! You are gonna have a hard time getting the rotor off without an impact gun on the puller. You do have the proper puller don't you?

      its also a good idea to tell us what bike you are working on
      1978 Gs1085 compliments of Popy Yosh, Bandit 1200 wheels and front end, VM33 Smoothbores, Yosh exhaust, braced frame, ported polished head :cool:
      1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017:D

      I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

          16MM fine thread bolt. Get it in and as was stated above. 5th gear and lock the rear brake down. Turns lefty loosey righty tighty so go right to get the bolt to pull the rotor off.. Most likely has loctite so its gonna fight a bit. Air or electric impact is your friend here as was also mentioned. Get a balck hardened bolt from Fastenal or whatever close supply house you have. Dont hold my feet to the fire, but i THINK its a 1.25 pitch.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
