| Video Discription | You won't see the damage on the ring gear unless it is severe, from the outside or primary side of the ring gear. You must pull the starter and inspect the ring gear through the starter hole to really see the damage. To do this: Make sure negative is removed from the battery. Put the bike in neutral and put a socket on the compensator nut on your HD. You'll have to drop the primary fluid and remove the cover. There are PLENTY of videos on how to do this. Put the socket on the comp. nut and ratchet it around. For best results, remove spark plugs. This should make it a bit easier to rotate the engine. But it is not necessary. 2007 Harley Davidson starter ring gear inspection from the starter pinion gear hole into the primary. This angle is the best way to inspect for abnormal wear on the ring gear if you are getting the 'warm start' noise. After disassembling the starter and inspecting the pinion gear on the starter clutch, I saw a couple of the teeth had massive wear. Since the pinion gear is 'harder' than the ring gear I feared the inside edge of teeth the ring gear would be chipped off. This is a video showing the ring gear. Two teeth have 'top side' wear but it was not as bad as I feared. From HD on later models (07 and up) the ring gear basket is no longer a sold separately as it is pressed in place. They want you to buy the entire clutch basket which retails for more than $500! NOTE: As of mid 2012, Evolution Industries (http://www.evolution-industries.com) now makes a bolt on replacement ring gear for stock clutch kits. The website does not list the price. To change out just the ring gear, you'll need to heat it to 300 degrees and press the ring gear off the basket. Evolution industries has directions on their website. EDIT: Link to the replacement ring from Evo Ind. available direct or at http://www.jpcycles.com/product/632-336 - same price. |
