starter clutch / one way clutch / sprague clutch

[Jim Randall]

Has anyone ever had to replace a KLR600/650 starter clutch? This is part number 13194-1089 described on the parts fiche as a "one way clutch". This device is a sprague type clutch that sits between the flywheel / alternator rotor and the large driven starter gear on the crankshaft. It allows the starter to spin the motor over but to disengage when the engine speed exceeds the starter speed. Jim
