So my 07 springer is showing signs of needing a new starter clutch and was wondering if anyone has replaced one using the all balls aftermarket one?
I'll be getting myself a new battery 1st to see if that eliminates the kick back I'm getting on hot starts so may not need to delve that far into it but if I do
what's the consensus on the all balls unit?
I put the All Balls starter clutch in my '04 Night Train after I had to push start it across the Nullarbor...
Took longer than I thought but things usually do the first time. From memory the hardest bit was removing the battery box to get to the starter. I followed the manual though. Primary cover also needs to come off so new gasket and oil here.
Cheers for the replies guys, yep battery will be first port of call, will measure what I'm getting under load sometime on the weekend.
G TEEZ sounds as though you've done ok with the All Balls so will go with that if it comes to it, mine being a softy will have to remove
oil tank to get the starter out by the look of it.
Thanks for the heads up Mark, if I end up replacing it, you may have just saved me a lot of time.
Checked battery today, was 12.8 before cold start up, started no worries then at 2.5 / 3 grand was 14.5.
Need to take it for a run get it hot and do the same again, pissin with rain all day today though so will have to wait.
Mate, the All Balls stuff is top notch. Go for it. Easy job.
what about stock clutch hub ring gear? last I looked stock late clutch hub ring gear very small teeth. have they put heavier big teeth ring gear? as if you go strong in starter but weak in ring gear that will be next thing to go if high cranking pressure big motor.
