well now ive done one its amazing what a difference its made.
most of the start issues are down to the sprag not engaging properly and slipping.
bike now spins up fast and starts with just the fast idle !! so if your bike turns over slow and you have a good battery it may be the sprag is failing.
the only thing wrong with my sprag bearing was the retaining spring that holds the little sprags in place was lose and that was it !!
there was no damage to the housing or the sprags (apparently you can tighten the spring but it often fails again so why try as flywheel is a cnut to remove ) lol
£100 to fix and a £100 well spent :thumbup
