- If you getting nasty noise while starting your engine or you only hear the starter and the motorcycle won't crank over this video is for you. Compelete step by step tutorial here!
This video was a lifesaver.. few weeks ago my 1100 starter clutch went out. I debated taking it to a shop but was quoted $1300, since I am a heavy equipment mechanic I decided to order a new big roller set from an aftermarket company and give it a go. Used this video alone from start to finish and was done in about 4hrs..... It has never started so smooth so I suspect the PO sold it to the dealer when it started going out. Lasted 5k with a start and stop clunk... Saved my riding season.
Which one did you buy aftermarket?
The brand was Ideal on eBay, just looked for the big roller type... Reviews were decent enough and for $100 or so if it goes again I'd probably just get the same one. Or by that time I may have went to a raider😂
This is without a doubt one of the best DIY videos I’ve ever viewed. Pace was perfect. Instructions were clear and precise. I believe I could do this without viewing it again. Awesome! And many thanks, too!
Best video and explanation of how to install a starter clutch easily and correctly. This guy knows his stuff. Great job.
Did you just do it ?
Everytime I try to adust the split gear with screwdriver the top gear chain move clock wise which misalign my timing ..:(((
Finally an honest guy that knows what he is DOING. Felcitaciones
This man should do a tutorial on anything he fixes. By far the most helpful and easily understood (even with the accent) thing that I’ve watched on TH-cam. Thanks for putting in the effort to help half assed diy mechanics like myself.

This was hands-down, the best video for helping me to complete this job. I am definitely no mechanic but because of this I was able to do it myself and save a lot of money. Thank you!
REALLY well done. Organization, clarity, and nice editing all on point. Thank you!
Perfect explained, and not background louder estupid music, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally a man who is giving the whole truth.. thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved me 1200 dollars.
4years later and still helping ppl. Thankyou
Definitely the best video on starter clutch replacement. Great job
Probably the best how to video I¨ve ever seen.
I agree with the last comment made this man is a genius Best video instructions I’ve ever had. Job went perfectly smooth, 4 1/2 hours. Never would’ve got this job done without this guy. Few mechanics didn’t even wanna do the job because the bike was too old and others wanted my arm and my leg
I never leave TH-cam comments but you deserve it.
Thank you very much.

Love your videos you are more knowledgeable than most of the people on here when it comes to working on motorcycles. Keep it up.
Great Job. You explained every step and the good and the bad things to watch out for. Well Done.
One of the best videos I've seen on repairing a motorcycle. Great job!
I’m really impressed with your work. This made every step clear and easy to follow. I really appreciate the warnings about the potential problem parts. With your help I am confident I can tackle this job myself. Thank you!
Hands down the best video to change it
Wow! You are on point. Great organization and explanations of everything. I don't think there could be a better video made of this. Thanks for doing this for us.
Just did mine in 2.5-3 hours using this video. Excellent job
this was hands down the best video I have seen for doing work, very detailed and everything was shown. Keep it up!
Wow!! Thanks brahh!! I'm so appreciative - wish I had this tutorial about 6 years ago - I had a VStar couldn't figure out why it would not start... SmH - it's going to help me now. 🙏🏽🤙
Great video. Very detailed instructions. I haven't attempted this job yet, but now I feel confident that I can do it. Thank you !
Make sure you check the starter is working properly first. FYI. Mine was starter whinning and not clutch. Great video. Thank you.
I'd like to thank everyone involved with making this video. I watched the video, followed the instructions to a tee. I ordered the parts online and was able to repair my bike to perfection. The best thing of it all, I never worked on a bike in my life, a motorcycle anyway. Thanks again, good job, keep up the good work!!!
Any tips I am in the middle of doing mine
Lucky you

Isn't it nice to find someone that knows what he's doing . Thank you for your sharing your knowledge.
Watched a couple videos and this guy by farrr was one of the best videos I’ve watched.. he explains everything you NEED to know ! Very organized! Thank you sir!
¿Ves qué fácil? ¡¡¡Magnífico tutorial!!! Aún con mi listening de inglés bajo mínimos lo he pillado casi todo. No soy de comentar mucho por youtube, pero con este vídeo tenía que hacerlo. Gracias por esta magnífica explicación paso por paso, justificando las cosas y poniendo la cámara en su sitio. Enhorabuena!
I just took everything apart just waiting for parts and put everything back together. Thank you so much best video ever. 😉
Did you fix it?

Just like the last guy said, the best video I’ve found yet on the instructions and detail captured in this video! Big thanks from me man!
I have a sneaky feeling that this is my issue. I already replaced the stator so with your guidance it should go smooth. Great video and thank you.
I've watched dozens of videos on this project for over 2 years. After watching this one I finally ordered the parts and installed it today. It was a piece of cake, thanks to this video. All the others made it look like a nightmare. Very well done.

Excellent Video. Very detailed. Steps and tricks very organized. One of the best do it yourself videos' I've ever seen.
Excellent job with this video. You showed exactly what was needed without a lot of unnecessary material.
Excellent Video. Concise and well edited. Thank you very much for posting your work!
Thanks, I followed, it worked. Checked an other one for the tork specs and all is well. Long life to you and my Vstar
Just went though this job on a boke im going to flip.This guy has the best instruction around. Thank you Chuck from Maine
Excellent no BS video . Great job .
I have never watched a DIY mechanical video from start to finish before now. Thank you!
I walked right through your steps and was able to complete my install with zero issues. Thank you
excellently explained..... I can tell you know what your doing & I will be watching again as I change mine out. Well done-thanks. I think I will get a lift first however.
Fantastic presentation. You did a great job and covered all points. Regards from the UK 🇬🇧
great video mi amigo. I went to start my '02 Vstar 1100 classic this morning and sure enough - I got that dreaded "sound" of the starter whirring but not engaging. I'm shopping for a kit now and thanks to your video, am not at all intimidated by the task ahead of me. Thanks!
Thank you for making this video! It's very helpful. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate your sharing time and knowledge. So very detailed and informative good enough for everyone to do this work
Excellent video. To the point on every step.
This video was amazing. Thank you for sharing! Everything was spot on.
My Vstar has never started this easily.
Thanks for all the detail and instructions. I feel confident I can get my starter fixed at home, having watched this. I did not want to put alot of money into this 20 year old bike, as I'm considering trading it in. You have saved me a bundle.
One of the best descriptive videos I’ve seen. Nice job, I pretty confident having this video to help!
This guy is a Real mechanic ,I had no problems repairing one after watching this Thank You

Damn good video. I may have this same issue , not sure yet. My 1100's starter drags and will only make a few strokes and stops. Parts store says my battery checks out..To me that's questionable. Supposedly the previous owner as soon as he bought it used it was not running. Claims he did this job and also the stater. Self admits he's no mechanic. I don't half believe he did anything. Said he spent 400.00 on parts. Anyways you was thoughro , you didn't speak fast , nice pace. Your voice was clear. One of the best mechanical vids I ever seen. Hats off to you sir.
This is the easiest diy project video I have seen. Thank you.
Wow! What an amazing job, very clear and informative!
What a great and informative video, you made the whole process look pretty easy. Much appreciated. 👏👏👏
Very informative, this would be the 1st time working on a bike and the instructions and tips very good
I don't even own a Yamaha!! yet and I found this video super instructive in the process, well done, thanks man
Just finished fixing my 2002 vstar 1100 starter clutch using this video as a guide. This video really helped, thanks to (Do it yourself Motorcycle repairs Guy).
An excellent video, very clear and easy to follow. Many thanks.
Thank you very much, your explanation and description of all the work was perfect, I am french canadian and all your explanation was easy to follow and clearly understandable, I am not a mechanic at all and the complete job took me near 3 hours (including near half an hour just to clean old gasket:)), Thank you very much, doing this job with your help give a lot of pride and save me a lot of money.
I haven' t had this kind of problem ( hope it will never happen ). Anyway, I 've looked at your vid several times, amazed how a precise
mechanic and teacher you are
thnk you do your video it was SPOT ON !!! i followed all the steps carefully and everything went fine bike starts and runs expected thank you again 100% the best video out there ! and dont be afraid to make marks on bike to align timing marks AWSOMENESS !!!!
Thank you. Very well done. My 1100 VStar is making a lot of noise cranking over and now won’t start so I’m sure it’s the starter clutch. One small addition to your video would be the sound of the bike trying to start before you changed the starter clutch. Just a thought. Thanks again.
Yes exactly, my starter just whines when it spins but doesn't try to turn the engine , idk if I have a starter problem or a starter clutch problem, nobody had posted the difference in sound and told how it feels
My Son and I just did his 1100 starter clutch with my iPad sitting on the small step ladder and your video leading us through the steps. Thank you!

Brother I thank you so much for this video. This is gonna be the first time I've done this on a bike. You explained it all very well and easy to understand. Great job. I will be useing this video to fix my bike. Cant wait to get in the wind again. Thank you again.
You are an outstanding mechanic and teacher,thanks 👍🤛
I just followed your instructions and everything is good 👍, THANKS!!!
I am an electrician by trade and am SCARED to death of working on gas engines. Sir I watched this video 7 times before I started took on this project. Your instructions were perfect and from start to finish this only took me 2 hours! Instead of spending 900$ to have a mechanic do this I only spent 150$ for the starter clutch! It also gave me an excuse to buy a few tools I wanted. If anyone is wondering the Milwaukee mid range 18v 1/2 drive impact worked WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for this video.
This DIY video was spot on. Very helpful in replacement of the one way starter clutch. Definitely will recommend for any job..

Thanks for a really useful video. I'm thinking of buying a BT1100 with a starter clutch issue, so this was really helpful.
just had the same problem just today. good step by step details. thanks
A proper instructional video. Thanks for sharing.
Agree with everyone. He has by far the best video on this issue from start to finish. Especially the double gears.
Very well done and thought out. Thanks for all the expert info.
I really liked the video and your instructions. Right to the point and very good camera angle. It would have been nice to have the torque lbs for everything but that was no big deal. Thank you so much for your time and trouble making a great video!
Looks like it's in ugga duggas not ft lbs lol
I had starting problem with my Yamaha VXS 1100 Drag Star and after I had watched this film I think I can do the job with my self. Now the job is done and my bike starts. Thank’s for this VERY GOOD video!
GREAT VIDEO MAN!!! no wasted time awesome step by step!👍👍👍 THANKS!!!
You are the man going to order mine and get started
Great Video. Well explained with all possible tips for a successful repair.
Excellent. The way a DIY video should be done. Good job.
Great video instruction. Very well done... Thank you!
Awesome video with great explanations!
Damn THE ABSOLUTE BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN OF THIS! thank you, I mean that. Very specific and detailed, finally.
Finally someone that knows how to explain every procedure, very informative, i learned alot.
Appreciate your patience and know how.

After reading other comments I cannot add to them , that is a wonderful video.
Very appreciative of the lesson. Very, very helpful. Thanks so much. Very descriptive did help. Good advice (tips) included. 👍
This man is an excellent mechanic and instructor! And documentary film maker as well apparently! Thank you Sir! You ROCK!!! ;))
Did you do it recently?
good job showing and explaining what to do and how to do it.
You rock, sir! Very good video, good explanations.
Finally did it, used a cardboard-sketch of the gasket to remember where each screw belongs.
Had to adjust timings though as i messed up with the marks... what a labour of pain
Very nice step by step video. Well done!
Thank you for the attention to detail. I'm re-assembling a basket case '04 V Star. I've been wondering about an extra washer I have after putting the side cover back on. I'll check it against the shift shaft from the outside, then disassemble to reinstall washer. Ugh. I wish people wouldn't take things apart when they don't know what they're doing. Another point you may emphasize- after magneto snatches the cover from your hands, check clutch cable bracket/arm position for alignment. It may prevent cover from seating correctly. Again, great job at simply explaining everything and keep up the good work! 👍
Good to watch you do this job, enough to know that I would never attempt to do myself!
Really its not that hard. The only thing is Watch out for the Spark plugs.
Great and best video, will be using this one to guide me and to repair my bike when parts arrive Thanks !!
Thanks for posting this. Well done.
Outstanding video! Thank you so much for making this.
Great video and clearly instructed. 👍🏻
Good explained and perfect working with the camera
I had the same issue with my starter clutch several years ago now. Unfortunately I didn't have a pneumatic impact wrench or any experience in doing anything this extensive on a motorcycle. However, I have had years of experience in repairing car engines, overhauls , clutch replacements, and just about any repairs that could possibly come up on older autos. While a very scary operation I couldn't afford having the work done at the going rate of $90/hr when was getting paid only $10/hr at the time. So I forged ahead and did all the work and while the removal and re-installation of the flywheel bolt was very difficult, I was still able to get that done. The secret is to work methodically and slowly taking my time to get everything right. Like I said, this was several years ago and now my bike kicks over very nicely every time.
Thank you very much. This video was very well thought out. You explained everything perfectly. I change my clutch earlier this year. I watched plenty of videos and got me the Manuel.I'll tell you my friend I wish I seen your video before I got into that job. It was quite frustrating . When I watched your video you made it look so easy wow! You got a new fan. I think you should be making a lot of these step-by-step videos.
Thank you so much brother...it means alot to get a good feedback like this! Please subscribe ... It will help me out 😊
