Hi and thanks for your video! I have a question about the symptoms of a possibly failing starter clutch: - I have bought a 30-yrs-old RC24 (with 22.000 km... or 122.000 km, this is still in question). Looks gorgeous and did go like a charm, until (1500 km after buy, last year) a sudden BIG noise appeared at around 140 km/h. And then disappeared when I went under 80 km/h. It would appear again if I exceed 100 km/h. The noise seems to be "groundspeed-dependant" and not "RPM-dependant". Eventually it did lead to breaking the starter outer clutch, which has been repaired. The mechanic told me I should buy a new part someday tho. Thing is, now we are one year later, I drove about 1500 km, and this big noise at 130 km/h is back. Do you have an idea if it is the starter outer clutch failing again, OR if something else is failing, which will eventually lead to starter outer clutch fail again? Could it be that the starter is suddenly entrained at 130 km/h? Starter relay? Or these "springs-plunger-rollers" fail to not separate the starter-clutch? Thank you !!
Thank you for the informative Video! Edit: The housing gets really expensive nowadays. About 275€ or 450 AUD (without the repair Kit from Tourmax, only the housing).
Moto XO, I agree with you on not using rtv like crazy. I didn't put any on my '76 cb750 SS when I put the shift selector cover back on. I do like the vfr 750's, but I think I like the 5th Gen vfr 800s more. Any opinions? I do prefer both because of the gear-driven cams.
Awesome! Doing that within the next couple of weeks on my 96... did you say you DO use silicone as well as the gasket or just the gasket alone?! Thanks!
Thanks for the tips! I'm in the process of replacing my front cylinder head and when aligning the starter clutch I noticed mine was cracked, so looks like I will be doing this as well. Cheers!
Moto XO I just got a 96 vfr 750 just like yours I have been looking but can't find a video that shows from start to finish replacing the starter clutch gear and everything like you did do you have a complete video from start to finish

I like both informative nature of this movie and the amount of sarcasm
Nice work. This is very similar yet very different to my VFR. And nice KTM too.
