Engine problem, Where to get cheap parts? was created by gnstalodz
I have a 81 ltd 440. It needs some parts for the starter since it doesn't catch.

www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/19...954sch85469#sch86510

Parts for the "clutch assy"

PIN x3
SPRING x3
ROLLER x3

I heard these parts will help the engine turn over and stop the LOUD clanking when trying to start up.

Obviously I know of bike bandit.com, but is there any other place I can go for parts? Any of these parts I can get from a osh or home depot? Any users lend a new guy a hand? thanks buds!

Only MC supply outfits will have those parts. Many of us here use Z1 Enterprises because their prices can't be beat. I am surprised that a starter clutch would go bad on a little bike like a 400. The parts should be the same as on our 900/1000/1100 and larger bikes and they last for ever on those bikes.

I dont know what the previous owner did to it, but I heard a low battery will lower its lifespan.

Yes that seems exact. I just hope those are the only parts I need to replace to solve my problem?

If the rollers are round and have no flat spots in them I would say that they are fine.

Look up the part number on Kawasaki.com or another site that has the parts diagrams and compare part numbers. Or, call them - they have great phone support.

Ok I just matched the OEM part number with bike bandit.com and it seems to be a match, and for almost $15 less

Is this flywheel bolt a reverse thread? AKA clockwise to loosen?
