starter clutch

Has anyone attempted a rebuild on the failed starter clutch that seems to plague some 125s and others? :D

the part is not repairable

if the part becomes Unobtainum or NLA
i plan to see if i can come up with a homebuilt fix for it

the secret to its long life is lots of fresh clean oil
and DO NOT try to stop the bike when going backwards with engine off with the clutch
you will pop it ever time

also always start bike in neutral to reduce load on the sprag clutch
