You are absolutely correct, instead of a circlip it is bolted together. I pulled it apart cleaned it and put in a thin washer. Any idea what that should be torqued down to? I'm affraid if I get it too tight and it backfires it will not do it's job. thanks Paul

At the advice of Ricknaz I checked my starting gears and low and behold one is malfunctioning. Below are some pics of the gear in question. The gear with the pen pointing to is spinning and the one behind it is not. It loooks like this gear set might come apart, but I had no luck. Any suggestions ?

@ ricknaz I thought the quick spin gear set I was getting was a differant gear ratio, but it's the same. I also added a washer to the cupped washers but still haveing the same issue. The sprag clutch looks good, I will post some close up pics later. Any ideas on what I should try next.

looking for an exhaust cam.

looking for an exhaust cam for an 04 FSE 45o..

Auto decompress was my first thought. The valves were perfect and the bike has less than 500 original miles. When I put the quick spin gears in it started fine about 20 times then back to what it's doing now.:confused:

O.K. need some help here. Below is a link to a video of what my bike is doing when I try to start it. So far I have done the following. Quick spin starter gear set. New battery kept on a tender. Manual cam chain tensioner. Valve adjustment. Removed cleaned and inspected starter. Visual...

Dues anyone have a ptch cord and software they want to sell or rent? Thanks Paul

My 03 FSE450 has a new interesting problem, seems the sprag clutch isn't making enough grip to spin the motor thru the compression stoke. I have pulled it apart and it has no cracks or broken parts. The valves are in spec and the auto decomp is working. It spins at about 25 psi compression.

Here is my problem. I have a 2003 FSE450 that is having a difficult time starting. I can kick start the bike with some difficulty but the electric start only turns it over until the motro builds compression. So I checked everything I could check and came to the conclusion that auto decompress is...

Mike Did you change your cam to resolve a starting issue? Thanks Paul

O.K. After some inspection it seems that the motor rotates fine until the the point that the auto decompress hits the valve, at that point the starter won't turn the motor over. The auto decompress does not seem to be compressing the valve enough to release compression. It seems to be a...

My GG won't start. It has spark and compression and the fuel pump is working. I have also checked the cam timing and valve clearance. My first problem is the starter won't turn the motor over more than one revolution.I have done the following. new battery cleaned all connections had the starter...

Does anyone know what size thread and pitch on the flywheel for an 03 450FSE, or the Motion Pro part # for the correct puller. Thanks Paul
