a common once a year problem

[xcracer416]

every year i have to replace my starter clutch, the reason being i dont ride it much during the winter cause its just to cold. when i do get it back out i out new fuel in it and start to crank it over. It will spit and sputter then boom the starter clutch make a loud noise. i will push the start button again, when the engine fires off when i start it there goes the expensive sob. ill put a new one in the flywheel and im good for another year. Im tired of buying the damn things. I think it all started when i went big bore/high compression.

I just went out to play in the snow on my 440 and the same dam thing happened. this will b the second time i had to replace it in bout 5 months. of course i bought a used one the last time from ebay:( . where do you get yours and how much. i called tho local stealership and they want 55 just for the bearings

i buy the whole assembly for like $135 from the dealership. Ive bought so many i can install them with my eyes closed.
