KZ 1100 Starter and Starter Clutch repair part 1

Here is what the Starter Clutch system looks like on a 1982 KZ 1100. The springs are compressed and one of the pins is broken. This happened because the 3 allen head screws that holds the clutch to the rotor came loose and allowed it to twist on the shaft. this also shows the broken needle bearings on the Starter Clutch. Complete repair video coming soon. Sorry I kept calling the springs, Pins.

Had a very similar issue with mine. Follow the torque specs and USE LOCTITE! to torque put a bolt in the rotor(same one used to take rotor off, find at hardware store) and put the bolt head in a vice. Luckily no damage was done to the needle bearing or starter clutch in my case. Good video! 😃

I gave the guys @ Z-1 a call got what I needed great service ..but had to buy a used starter clutch off e-bay have not installed yet ...the old one just locks up when torque it down tried to rebuild it but no luck ...same thing..will up date when I try the used one I got

[@kawakuru]

is very good when you do this viedo thanks to you its help me a lot 10+ to you

[@brufnus]

Thanx for a great video. I might have some similar problems on my '87 Suzuki GSX 1100 EF, the starter clutch looks pretty much like yours. I haven't had it disassembled yet, and everything works fine except that it's noisy and, what's worse, very vibration creating. :-| I hope it's the starter clutch, I have a hard time believing it has eaten a main bearing (roller bearing cranks on those bikes).

cheers mate

[@usnixon]

how did you get the starter clutch off do I need some tool or some thing mine is stuck..any help

[@Shannonbeau]

Sorry so late on this, I wasn't notified of the comment. YES, there is a special tool you need to purchase in order to get that off, it is a special bolt that goes into the shaft and literally pulls the fly wheel off by pushing it out. Again, sorry it took so long, but I'm sure you figured that out already.

My 93 zx6 makes a clicking sound but the starter does not turn the engine. I was told that my starter needs to be rebuilt, that is not the same as you are doing ? Or is it.
Thanks

[@savehaya7372]

how did you remove the piece?

[@1Dougloid]

I see you got some Ioway plates. Are you a Hawkeye?
