If I realigned the teeth would it be safe to start the bike? Considering all broken teeth were fished out, 6 of them.

No.

You could line the teeth up and you could start the bike. However that assumes that you know how many rotations of the starter motor, the transfer gear, and the starter clutch there are for the exact time you have your finger on the starter motor before the engine engages. Then would the teeth line back up for the next and every time you try to start it? I thought not.

Do not try and start the bike with a broken starter clutch. You run the risk of further damage to the engine/ starter components.

Bump it if you want now all the shrapnels out.

However next time that starter idler, spinning fast with high torque, comes out of mesh and tw*ts into the next tooth you'll be fishing for more bits of crap again as it'll just knock more teeth off.

Plus the starter wheel isnt as tight to the back as you think. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING IT.

Youll **** the engine bits!
