Tarmop Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hey all. I am trying to free a stick Kickstarter. Martin linked a video for me of how to set it up. But do I need to split the cases to get to it? or just remove clutch and gears? Let me know if you know ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboy883 Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I had an Aprilia TXR, air cooled with almost the same engine fitted which did the same. i only removed clutch and gears and the spring had a right angled lugg end which seated in a hole/indent in the clutch side crank case to secure and retain it. Never split the cases at all. hope this helps, bottom line is, you'd have to take the clutch and gears off to split the cases anyway, so whip em out, and that should reveal what you need.

Tarmop Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 How do I get the socket type thing Off that’s in the way of removing the basket ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamferret Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 It's an extra flywheel weight. A half inch drive socket wrench will fit, if memory serves me it is a left hand thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmop Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Ya. ****. I got a bar on it and broke my basket trying to hold it still while turning ?? the weight is still on there too. I tried left and right and couldn’t get the weight to un thread ya . ****.

kurtas Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Get an impact driver onto it. You never want to use something to wedge a gear/basket/whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmop Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 ya I did after that but it didnt do it, but i didnt apply lots of pressure as im unsure if its normal or reverse thread. so I dont wanna put too much force the wrong direction. But with the impact on low setting either way it wouldnt loosen. let me know if any one can confirm if its clockwise or counter clockwise to remove the clutch side flywheel weight. cheers Tarik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmop Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 whats the best way to hold the crankshaft still so I can remove it the clutch side flywheel weight ? If its the correct thread direction I can hold the flywheel side of the engine with a socket on the flywheel bolt, but if its the reverse thread then the flywheel bolt will loosen while I loosen the clutch side flywheel weight. Or something like that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmop Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 also I found another flywheel in a parts bin, but the gear on the back is cut straight and the one on the bike is cut helical..... so incompatible I assume unless i can change the gear on the back of the basket...
