I am so happy it helped you. Please subscribe as I am trying to get to 1000. I enjoy doing the videos just don't have the video skills yet to show better angles or details while filming. Thanks again

Followed along with you video on my donor engine KZ I had, and there is no way I’ll be doing that for the bike I’m flipping! That’s a crazy process, props for doing it!

[@FranciscoGalicia]

Thanks for your comment

[@Tosalangre]

Your video saved my life ( and my money). You gave me the strenth to do the change of this f**king starter clutch :-) Thanks a lot.

[@FranciscoGalicia]

I am so happy that it helped you. That was my main goal. Cheers.

[@Tosalangre]

@@FranciscoGalicia, I know you didn't do a final video, but is this repair made the starter clutch work better? I hope so:-)

[@FranciscoGalicia]

@@Tosalangre yes. It does. I think my starter motor is a bit weak as it turns slow. Thank you

Hallo, i'm from Poland, kawasaki 750 zephyr 1994 Has the same lokalization flywhell ? Great film .

[@FranciscoGalicia]

Hello. Thanks for your comment. I am not confident of if is the same or not. But you can compare the 1978 kz650 components used at partzilla.com and see if is the same number. I heard there are a lot of common components between those bikes. Z wyrazami szacinku

Thanks,great video 👏

[@FranciscoGalicia]

Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate your message

[@joseerodriguez3138]

Helpfull video! Did this fix the problem, how's it holding up?

[@FranciscoGalicia]

thanks for your comment. Once in a while I have an issue starting it. I think is because the electric motor is not strong or fast enough. So first start with kick and when is warm it start good with the starter. thank you

[@jimbarber2947]

excellent job,thanks for the video

[@FranciscoGalicia]

Thanks so much for your comment. I appreciate it.

[@wisecampmotorcycles8258]

Hello, great video, I have the exactly the same bike, with the same problem. One day I will buy a new starter clutch and do that job, but for now, I'm happy to use the Kickstarter 😅 The bike is in my collection, and will probably be the next owner who has to do this job. PS, are you working in your pyjamas dude?😂

[@FranciscoGalicia]

Haha. Sometimes yes. Is in my garage so I feel like home. Thanks for watching

[@FranciscoGalicia]

By the way. Sometimes I just start it with the kicker as I like that.

Ciao io ho la stessa moto con un problema a motore caldo si accende la spia del olio ho sostituito olio filto e sensore pressione ma il problema rimane grazie

[@FranciscoGalicia]

Hola. No entiendo. Inglés o español?

[@rosarioboccia7268]

@@FranciscoGalicia Hola tengo la misma moto con un problema cuando el motor esta caliente se enciende la luz del aceite, le cambie el filtro de aceite y el sensor de presion pero el problema persiste gracias

[@FranciscoGalicia]

@@rosarioboccia7268 hola. Gracias por tu mensaje. Lo que pienso es lo siguiente: bomba de aceite, falta de aceite (se revisa fácil) , que el sensor de aceite no funcione correctamente o este mal conectado. Creo más en que el sensor no funcione bien y falle con la temperatura. Espero sirva la información. Saludos

[@jesusdesantiago6580]

Thank you very much for sharing. Looking forward to see more videos of you working on the KZ I have the exact same model, same color. Question, what was the first indicator that the starter clutch was going bad?

[@FranciscoGalicia]

Thank you. The starter was spinning. Like free rotation without moving the motor. Also the noise was weird. Happy to help.

[@alvinahlgren8384]

How did you come to the conclusion that the starter clutch needed replacement? I also have a kz650 and my starter sometimes cranks the engine and sometimes it just spins.

[@FranciscoGalicia]

Thanks for your comment. When the crank spins it can be as the rollers are spinning because of the weak springs. I learned after that that you can stretch a bit the springs in order to avoid the mechanisms to spin. Where the barrels touch may be good to have it rough so they don't spin. Hope this helps

[@johnlincoln7994]

Don't rough up any surfaces (as these are case hardened if you are able to rough them up you will have wrecked them) sprag clutches (or one way bearings or starter clutches) work on a lock up principle that only works in one direction , weak springs or flats on the rollers or both are what causes a slip (rattle) then you push the starter button, replacing these parts normally sorts out the problem , ps never try and start your bike with a low battery as this can cause early failure of starter clutches.
