Motorcycle Repair: Bendix problem 2001 Roadking Classic, clutch gear, starter button
QuestionStarter is making a whinnying sound and is not engaging. Spoke with the Harley bubba's and they said it sounds like a Bendix problem. He gave me a schematic to review and my question is: are there any major problems getting to the Bendix to replace or just basic bolt pulling??? I know I have to go into the right side and pull the primary inner/outer to get to the bolt to remove the Bendix... Thanks
AnswerFirst, you want to make sure that is the problem. Drain the primary fluid and remove the derby cover a the rear of the primary cover. Now looking in there and upward with a flashlight, have somebody hit the starter button. Is the jackshaft sliding outward and engaging the clutch gear? Or is it just spinning and not sliding outward?
