I had the problem on 80 KZ1000E and 81 KZ1000J. Rollers and springs were fine.

Hamman wrote: Hey guys, been plagued by the starter clutch going bad. Very hard to start the 750 and sounds like rocks in my engine covers. I saw on Z1 that the ex500 (Ninja 500) is placed in the same group of parts that will fit? I found a kit on Ebay that I ordered for around 60$ for the EX500, 97-2001 I believe, that falls into the same time frames as on Z1. Any thoughts? Any others use a diff. model starter clutch kit for their kz's? I have a 1981 750LTD 4 cyl. Thanks ~
I don't understand. Are you asking if the 750 and Z1 are the same?

I'd replace the rollers and springs with new OEM parts, not aftermarket. 90% chance everything will be fine thereafter. If the starter gear looks worse than the one Ed shows I'd replace that too. Or maybe try those ZR-7 parts.

Update: Was able to replace the starter clutch assembly yesterday, actually wasn't too bad. Took me about 3 hours start to finish. The hardest part was cleaning off all the old nasty gasket material. Good thing I went in! The 3 allen screws that hold the assembly were totally stripped, not even keeping anything tight. Also the small gear on the clutch side had the retaining clip broken, luckily found the other half in the oil pan. Also the springs for the starter clutch were bent and one was way short, like a click pen spring. Also my 10mm oil pump bolt wasn't tight, it was finger loose. Now I gotta diagnose the no start
