Victory Cross Country 106 Freedom Engine - Starter Issues. Starter Drive Clutch Bearing

[@VatoTVonline]

Where did you buy the bearing?

[@renapolonio6713]

Why are you changing that part, because your starter turns and the bike doesn’t crank?

[@pedromoreno9684]

Yes, the Starter Drive Clutch Bearing better known as "Sprag Bearing" broke as you can see in the video the old bearing in comparison to the new bearing. On the old bearing you can see the Paws are out of alignment, which causes the one-way drive gear not to engage causing the starter to spin not allowing the engine to start.

@@pedromoreno9684hey man my 2014 cross country with only 6000 miles on it isn’t starting an only makes a loud whirling noise when I try to start it. It’s not the battery and I tested the starter for power an it has power to it. Any idea if I’m dealing with your same problem ?

What did you use as a 'puller' ? The oil plug from a 85 Subaru (read it online in a couple of spots) or something else?

I was going to use the subaru oil plug bolt, but I went ahead and order this. Motion Pro 08-0086 Flywheel Puller M20X1.5 R.H. External Thread

I read guys had issues with the drain plug bolt. I did not want to take a chance.
