ill try to explain it here, what it has is 3 metal cylinders around the edge. these can normally spin freely when the red bit (starter gear) turns counterclockwise. when you hit the starter motor button you turn that gear clockwise, this forces the metal cylinders to hit the springs (green) and roll up the ramp (yellow), this is what "locks" the starter motor only allowing it to turn in 1 direction.

pic 1 - no force applied clockwise

pic 2 as you hit the starter

as for what the starter motor does, the starter motor turns a gear, that gear turns the starter sprag clutch (what ive drawn above), the gear on the starter sprag clutch has another gear attached to it, that turns a thick chain that goes to the crankshaft.

so when you hit the starter motor it turns the crankshaft.

Thanks for that RAG TOP. You're spot on with that diagnosis, because roadrunner explained exactly what you have put to me yesterday. I don't know why I kept thinking it was the starter clutch playing up. retard

Thanks again RAG TOP and Roadrunner of course. It's nice to know that I'm in the company of friends with plenty up top. Especially you RAG TOP with that lovely avatar you have. laugh

It was more of the way they were started Nuggtt;
Clutch lever in;wind it over on kickstart once,let clutch out,feel for compression ,then go for it.
You pulled clutch in at start to free off the sticky plates.!
Stopped you looking a dick when you engaged first without the gearbox making a racket and the bike lunging forward.
It will come back to you in a minute.!!!

Ah yes it's all coming back to me now. I remember now where I got all those bad bruisers from around my knee, when you didn't quite get the compression it right. laugh
