WTF????:huh::huh::huh::huh:
Chukitova said:Yeh, that starter clutch is kafunted. You should not be able to turn it both ways like that.
Part number is the same between 2001 GSXR 600 and 750.
Based on my experience, they are not rebuildable due to fine machining.
12600-35860 Is the part number. Get your wallet out, or get used to push starting buddy!
Chukitova said:Ok. The one you want is 12600-40810. It is actually the new part number for the 12600-35860 as well. It's the same starter clutch across the three models from what i can see. Unfortunately, it seems unique to the GSXR's. I would have thought the Bandit, GS or GSXF would have been a match, but they are different as well.
They do wear out, some bikes have been known to have bad ones. But the GSXR i dont think is one of them! Who knows what made yours fail, there is not a lot you can do to look after it, other than changing oil when recommended with the correct grade of oil. You had an oil change lately?. It doesnt have friction plates like a drive clutch, just pawls that run down ramps and jam the shaft when it's turned one way.
Something else to watch for, is that where the starter clutch shaft fits into the cases is not flogged out. That can happen if you have been running with fuck all oil.
This is where i get part numbers from if you want to have a browse yourself.
