One way bearing went bad possibly.

 

So it turns out the starter was for a 2013 turns the wrong direction because they have one less gear . Sent it back got the right one . Installed and it's still binding (kicking back).ordered a new battery old ones questionable. Old starter was full of oil so it need one .will try new battery when I get it hopping it will fix it but not real confident that it will.bike runs great after it starts so not thinking it's timing . Any help would be appreciated I'm running out of ideas .

 

The bolt the idler gear rides on is likely bent. I'm replacing one right now for the exact same issue. When you removed the gear behind the flywheel was it difficult to get the idler gear and the larger gear to seat back in place?

 

This would only apply on the 11 or 12 model

 

Pull your clutch cover off and try and turn the motor counter clockwise and make sure the motor isn't locked up.

 

When I tightened the idler gear I replaced the post forgot to say that .the idler gear showed some wear didn't think it would be an issue . But will pull cover off and check all the gears closer . The bike runs well when it starts so not thinking there is anything wrong with engine . Just worried when it kicks back one of these times it may break the post off and crack case . Thanks for the info will keep u posted when I get a chance to look at it again .

 

I am having the same problem. Doesn't turn over evenly and will (bind) stop for a second and then fire up. Runs fine after that.

 

I replaced the torque gear and idler gear because they showed some wear . Did not help . So I ordered a one way bearing and ring gear seemed to be alittle movement and wear. This fixed my problem. Thxs for all the advice.

 

Do you have the part #'s for these?

 

#1 and 6#

 

Make sure ur idler gear is tight and buy a new gasket and only use the red spacer gasket .

 

Yeah, I know all about the red gasket after learning the hard way.
