    Starter clutch springs

    Ink pen springs are a good as replacements for starter clutch springs. may need to be slightly trimmed. Put the trimmed end into the clutch housing and the nice flat factory end into the plunger. Use and old spring to gat an approximate length.

    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.

    Springs are only 1.89 at Alpha Sports. Cheaper than most good pens.

        I am one of the GSR cheapazzes...LOL

        I post as a VIABLE and SAFE option if your up at the cabin, on vacation and can get then tools to remove the rotor ( I have stopped at gargaes and asked to use a wrench or two in my days ) and the ship from Japan is still another 8 days away.

        Or if your packed and ready to go and one snaps at zero dark thirty the morning of the trip.

          Chuck, can you come up with a viable and safe use for all those pens you got lying around with no springs in?

                      hey Steve, if you bought a few dozen of them at that price, you could sell them to all the people who have fitted the springs in their starter clutches so they can repair their pens

                          You do not seem to see a lot of click pens anymore.
                          I prefer a UniBall or an Itoya gripper myself.

                          I have a 1952 Shaffer fountain pen that I used for writing essays in univ but you just ask for an ink pot at Staples and see the looks they give you.
