Anyone who hasn't disassembled the primary and timing side for the usual checks and updates is asking for these issues. Also, it's a good time to update the starter and double-check the shift paws for wear.When a starter ring bolt comes adrift...

Very sound advice.Anyone who hasn't disassembled the primary and timing side for the usual checks and updates is asking for these issues. Also, it's a good time to update the starter and double-check the shift paws for wear.
Yes sir...Very sound advice.
Do you mean replace the starter?
Have you used heat on the bearing/shaft ? This will free the loctite .Hub is rocking on the shaft. No rocking in the shaft or basket/ring gears. (however the basket/ring gear has yet to be removed to check properly)
Yep, sprocket is all good...Did you also check the front sprocket? The lockwasher is known to fail, or be badly fitted leading to it becoming loose (which isn't good).
Yes tried some heat few times....Have you used heat on the bearing/shaft ? This will free the loctite .
Which one do you recommend?Yes sir...
Mmmmmm CG, I’m slap in the middle of that group - 7 years 15k! She’s sounding fine (the same as always) and running sweet. Reluctant to be starting to strip given that scenario. May rethink though!Anyone who hasn't disassembled the primary and timing side for the usual checks and updates is asking for these issues.

Don't want to worry you mate but mine fell apart at 16.5K and it too sounded and rode fineMmmmmm CG, I’m slap in the middle of that group - 7 years 15k! She’s sounding fine (the same as always) and running sweet. Reluctant to be starting to strip given that scenario. May rethink though!
I have had a few bikes through the shop that run like that, but we still welded the basket pins for security and checked all the other bolts and hardware. You also get a birdseye view of the primary wear because the little ledges by the screw holes will keep shavings on them even during oil changes, so you can at least see if there are other issues.Mmmmmm CG, I’m slap in the middle of that group - 7 years 15k!

Indeed.any attempt to race anything off the line would lead to a very bad and embarrassing experience.
A bit harsh! Can’t really see that making a difference!!Indeed.
But surely that’s caused by the indecently long time it takes from you dropping the clutch to the end of your silencers also leaving the line…?
Ahh but since I fitted roller skates to the end of the silencers when the front wheel lifts due to their weight at least they don't drag on the ground......Indeed.
