Virago Starter Bendix Clip: Metal Clip Install
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- Video of installing the additional metal clip to the existing Bendix gear clip. This is the same type clip I made for the Starter Mod tests as well as the one I made for my Bobber (videos are on the Channel as well). Look for it out on eBay if you want to give one a try. www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Virag...

You are a life saver and you Ncc are making my bobber build a breeze !!!
Thanks man ! Glad the videos are helping some 👍. All the best ! Steve
Great info, just ordered one of your clips. I'm resurrecting an 82 750 I've owned since new that's been sitting for about 19 years. I had to think a bit before I remembered the starter noise.
Thanks man 👍. That’s awesome you still have your bike from new...not too many people can say that for sure. Hopefully the clip will help out on yours as well...it got mine back to starting each time with out grinding the gears so, although my gears are pretty much worn out, at least they won’t wear any further. All the best ! Steve
@@StevesDIYs where can I get the clip and the part it goes on for a 95 virago 1100
Thank you Steve. Appreciate the help.
Thanks man 👍
I listed the clip clips out on eBay if anyone is interested in trying one. (the original listing expired...here’s the new one: www.ebay.com/itm/225573144151?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=sfmcIdagSM-&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=sfmcIdagSM-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Thanks for watching !
Thanks for making the video. I wonder if I could make that out of a small piece of copper pipe
J C , thanks man 👍. Yep that’s about all the clip is. I tried regular copper tubing, but it wasn’t strong enough and stretched when I pressed it onto the bendix spring clip so it didn’t add the right amount of squeeze. Send me an email at Stevesdiys@gmail.com if you want to and I’ll let you know what I used if you wanted to give that a try 👍
I'm interested in purchasing one of these clips or possibly a pre clipped clip
Hello, thanks…there’s an eBay link pinned in the comments for the clip clip, but I also have two of the kits out there right now as well that has the preinstalled clip clip on the OE Cir-Clip as well as the side cover gasket. Here’s the link to the kit that’s active right now if you wanted to have a look: www.ebay.com/itm/225482805027?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=sfmcIdagSM-&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=sfmcIdagSM-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@StevesDIYs you're a life saver I can't wait to get this installed with a new gear at my next oil change
Just subscribed. This video helped me big time. I was just wondering if you knew the torque specs to put the cover back on? My virago is an 84xv700
Thanks man 👍. For the side cover bolts (or any of the 6mm bolts on the motor) the torque spec from the manual is 10 Nm or 7.2 ft-lbs for the most part. Thanks again and all the best ! Steve
Hey thank you a lot it’s been driving me crazy. Finally found the specs in my book but didn’t know what the (M10 26 -29 and the M6 7 - 10) were or how to tell the difference. I figured it was length
Hey Steve! Thank you for the videos working on the virago, they’ve been extremely helpful with my newest project. Do you happen to have an updated link to the clip on ebay?
Hey man, thanks...glad the videos are helpful ! I ran out of the clip material I make them from, but have more material on order...should be about a week and I’ll have some more made and listed again on eBay 👍. I’ll update the link pinned in the comments for the video with the new listing, but I’ll also reply back to your comment with the link so you’ll have it once I post them back up👍. All the best ! Steve

I need the clip and actual ring it's self that goes into the Bendix gear for a 95 1100 virago
Hey man ! For the 2nd Gen motors (like the ‘95 1100), the starting system is quite a bit different than these 1st Gens. They did a design change on the starting system so yours should have a solenoid that is out side of the motor with a mechanism that holds the Bendix gear out when starting so you wouldn’t need the clip. The Bendix gear and starter parts for yours should still be available online from the motor sports type sites since it is newer and they kept that design for many years. For the 1st Gen bikes, we are stuck with doing things like adding the clip clamp or making the change to installing a 2nd Gen side cover and the upgraded starting components for some motors that they put an additional shaft boss in. I think even the Bendix gear is different in the slope of the inner gear teeth for the 2nd Gen. Hope this helps and all the best ! Steve
That does seem to work but what does the clip change in the end? is there to keep the diameter of the ring closer to each other?
Hello, yes, it basically keeps the wire ring clamp tighter (or the diameter smaller like you said 👍). The effect of tightening the wire ring is actually interesting because it does two things…1st it increases the friction so when the flywheel tries to speed up after the compression stroke pushes it really fast, it keeps it from going as fast so the Bendix gear stays engaged better (the starter goes too slow to keep up with the flywheel immediately after the compression stroke). It also adds the extra friction so when the Bendix gear is pushed onto the teeth of the flywheel, it pushes it much harder and doesn’t allow it to bounce on the teeth so it engages back into the flywheel teeth and doesn’t just grind the gears together. The metal clip clamp needs to provide the correct amount of additional tension though…too much and it makes the starter motor work too hard…too little and it will still allow the gears to jump out and grind. Hope this helps and all the best ! Steve
@@StevesDIYs thanks for the reply. Since i live in the netherlands is there a way to make it myself?What did you make it from?
And did you use it in the end on your bike?
👍. Yep, if you want to, send me an email at stevesdiys@gmail and I’ll send you a link to a video on how to make one since shipping international is really expensive (I sell them out on eBay as well). Yes, I put them on my 1st Gens and no longer have problems with the gear grinding 👍
Hey nice videos.
Im from Germany so it’s a Bit expensive to order it from the us.
Would you tell me what Material you use for the clip?
Greetings from Germany
Hello, yep, you can send me an email at stevesdiys@gmail.com if you’d like and I can send you some info on the material and size to use 👍. All the best ! Steve
@@StevesDIYs hey Steve, Can you also send it to me ? :)
@@benjaminabz hey man ! I replied to your email with the information 👍. All the best ! Steve
What year and what size motor?
Hey man ! The clip is for the ‘81-‘83 xv750 and the 920’s (they don’t have the big solenoid on the top of the left side cover). Mine are ‘81 and ‘82 v750’s (the ones in most of the videos on the channel).
Where can I get a starter clutch clip?
Hey man ! Here’s a link to them out on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/224435547617?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338273189&customid=&toolid=10001&pub=5575378759&icep_ff3=1&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg. All the best ! Steve
Where can I get this "clip clip"?
Hello, I posted some more out on eBay in case anyone was interested in trying one. Here’s the link to the listing: www.ebay.com/itm/225092976055?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=sfmcIdagSM-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=sfmcIdagSM-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY All the best ! Steve
