Miss my 450r

[TCracin440ex]

well i had to take my 450r to the shop last monday because of the starter problems...and they have had it ever since monday and i proally wont get it back till mid week...they said the starter clutches went out, any idea what caused this so it can be prevented next time

you used throttle when starting it and it kicked back, destroying the clutch...lonestar_r and myself had this done, for free, by honda, just 2 weeks ago, mine was out of warranty for a week and his had been out of warranty for a few months. neither of us paid a cent.

the parts came to about $385 and here is what they replaced:
1 bearing(31x36x18.5) 91012-pn6-701
1 gear(35t) 28110-mey-670
1 ring, friction 28127-ms2-612
1 clutch, one way 28125-mey-671
1 clutch outer 28115-mey-670
2 hp coolant qt 08c50-c321s01
1 gear(23t) 23121-hp1-600
1 gear(9t/19t) 28120-hp1-601
1 gasket, r cover 1193-hp1-600

as i said, all this was considered warranty repair even though our warranties had run out!!

not disputing your word but ive never used the throttle when starting my bike....they told me that the day i got it....so ive never done it plust ive read on here before bout how to start it so i had some kinda idea....so ive never used it idk what else coulda caused it

to be honest with you, after i found out not to use the throttle, it still kicked back. but that may have been because the damage was already done.

there is a loud clunk when it happens. supposedly it only happens when throttle is used to start the machine, but i have my doubts.

if i have to have it fixed again, i'll be adding the kicker to it instead...
