Stupi question - Sprag bearing?
Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2010 1:48 am
Went to start up my bike after finishing the wiring.
The starter is turning but motor is not so I figure sprag bearing?
Puzzling bits (to me):
If I put it in gear it will turn the back wheel with starter.
If I turn the back wheel in gear it looks like the flywheel turns through starter chain cover.
If I turn the wheel backwards in gear it tightens the starter motor drive chain.
Motor started and ran fine before tidy up.
Thanks in advance.
