bad day with the sv650s - SV650.org

20-09-14, 10:16 AM

broke down yesterday morning ironically on my way to the garage.
sat waiting 2 hours for the AA for him to say oh i cant get it to start we will get you a truck will be another hour.
gets to the garage and woke up this morning ( very hungover ) to the mechanic telling me the starter clutch has gone and smshed something called a magneto?
and apparantly the oem parts will cost me around 200 and 300 and a new gasket for 12 quid... safe to say bad day

If those parts are needed, eBay will be a far cheaper source.

I have seen a starter clutch go before. I presume its stripped some teeth, just make sure they are all recovered from the sump...

Magneto?Whats that then?I seem to recall having one of those to provide sparks on a (very)old BSA about a century ago.

Anyway,you might be able to source the bits from a blown engine that has done its crank.

apparently the flywheel? is destroyed because it wouldnt come out so he had to force it out.. the starter clutch magnets had flew around the engine hes missing one.. once hes found that i just need to put it back on.
