starter clutch repair VS replace

[Guest]

so im needing to replace the starter clutch on my 82' GS1100

i have been looking around on ebay and several other sites but cant seem to find a new replacement, or i find one that's already damaged (ebay).

my question is this, does anyone know how effective starter clutch repair kits are? anyone had any experience with these or heard any stories?

here's a link to the kit im looking into. for whatever reason it doesnt have pages dedicated to individual parts so this is just to the page the part is on, its about 4/5's of the way down, SORRY!

Those "kits" I think are the entire sprague clutch.

You can buy all those components from Suzuki for about $30. The problem is that there is usually damage to the housing they sit in, and simply replacing those pieces won't get it done for long.

Ask me how I know this.

You didn't say if your 1100 is a G or an E. The G starter clutch assembly is still available for about $160. The E assembly is about $190.
