Hello,
I replaced the starter clutch cover and gasket today but now the bike won't turn over when I try to start it. I had a bit of a struggle getting the bearing out of the old cover and ended up cutting it out, but worried I might have damaged the bearing.
However, the bearing spins smoothly, and the gears turn when turned by hand. Just when I bolt the cover back on and try to start the bike it just clicks.
Is it possible the gears won't turn if the bearing isn't 100% flush with the cover? Any other ideas would be very much appreciated
Thanks
Nick
