XJ750 Starter Clutch Replacement...

If you are trying to get the rotor off the shaft, you need to tap on the shaft with a hammer (not too hard) and the rotor will pop off. Be prepared to catch it.

 

so I just put something in that hole? like a bolt and then tap it with a hammer? All these videos are saying to find a long bolt, thread it in a bit and tap it on the end. sounds like a similar process, but Im not having any luck.

 

Don't need to put anything in the hole.

A few taps on the end of the shaft has worked for me. Where the rotor sits on the end of the shaft is conical, so just enough of a tap to break it loose is all it needs. It will just kind of fall off.

I would suggest starting with a light tap, gradually getting harder until it falls off - shouldn't be anywhere near enough force to damage the shaft.

 

Can you assist me where to get a starter clutch and or parts I have a 1983 750 maxim which sounds like something is trying to escape my engine, than I have an 1982 750 seca I just picked up for $300.00 ,and the starter spins and 8 gear nothing engaging.

See my post on the dreaded starter clutch , I have done two of these now . As far as parts yes xj4ever is best source , but I bought a repair kit off of eBay one was from England with heavier springs and drilled caps and new rollers. The other was a caltric starter clutch assembly.

Hello well I've replaced a couple starter clutches on an xj750 maxim and a Seca both 1983 and I just pulled the engine, laid the engine on its back ,removed the oil pan ,clutch assembly cover as well as the the clutches and basket, on this side if the engine there is a flat retainer with 2 screws holding it,they need removed,on the left side of the engine there will be a small cover under the starter ,also with 2 screws in it this also will need removed.Once these are removed and the oil pan is removed you'll need a brass punch to push the shaft out of the the starter clutch assembly, just observe all pieces, oh it takes a little patience to put the new one in .
