hayabusa starter failure

[Jackard]

Hi everyone...
Since i've my prosport with a 1300 hayabusa from powertec (year 2001), i've broken 3 starter





On the Web they speak about the "kick back"

What your opinions?

Do you know a system or parts to prevent this failure...

Thanx

I think I know what you need, I have one on mine.

Billet Idler Gear

The two sides of the gear (input and out put) are connected via a deformed washer (rather than being solid) which, when a large torque is applied will slip slightly to stop the started being damaged.

A note of warning though is that, if you get this and find that after a few years it will not start because it sounds like the battery is flat (ie. slow starter motor sound) it might be that the washer gets loose and needs to be tightened, although with the newer design i'm told this doesn't happen anymore. I'm just giving a heads up since it took me months to track down that problem.

But anyway I digress, if you currently have the standard idler gear looking into the above link.

I turned our original 'busa starter to dust after spinning at Brands and not dipping the clutch quick enough.

We put a new thingy on which prevents that happening. It may be what's already described above but I'll check what it was called.
