starter motor has suddenly started spinning the engine over a couple of times then disengaging, making a wizzing noise then a loud clunk, ok on the kick start.
starter motor or starter clutch problem ??????????

Sounds like the 3 x rollers & springs in the rotor unit

I think it being bored out to 1100cc doesn't help !!!!!!!!

are all springs and roller the same for all 1100 /1000 modles

they are the same for all models make sure the surface on the gear is perfectly round otherwise it will fail again in a short time

the gear is worn. is it worth replacing the clutch holder .that all looks ok but being black it is a job to tell
i see z power do a kit that includs a holder .
