hi.
what does it take to change the starter clutch on one of these? is it a big job? do you need to split cases.
FZR 1000 by the way

I believe it is but more knowledgeable folk will be along in a short while!

Yeah cases need splitting, its one of the first things you put in the engine during a rebuild. I can do the work for you if you need it and don't wanna work on the engine yourself, and I'm cheap and good.

I take it that your getting the grating sound when the sprag clutch dies, hence changing it?

cheers for the answers.

I was offered a bike at a "steal" cos it had a little niggle.....

needless to say I don't consider the price to be that good

add to the fact it does not look like it has been well looked after so the thought of dropping the engine out does not excite me.
