Do you think there could be problems in the case side as well as the sloppy cover housings? (maybe this is what you're getting at with "fitting a bush into each end of the bendix shaft housing"). Love the new Rieju cover (and Ebay option) - just wondering if this will be "the solution" or if slop on the other end is contributing to the problem as well... Jeff

Thanks,has been a PITA.
You are right on with the case side bendix shaft housing. I have ordered some oilless bushes for both ends & will machine the bendix shaft down to fit.Machining the case & cover for a bearing is a much better solution but I'm looking for the easiest & cheapest way for anyone to do it.Much easier to pop the bendix out,get an engineer to take 1mm off the shaft each end,tap the bushes in,job done......well that's the plan? |

No, just Russian style as we say. Plain aluminium used as bearing.

They would have failed my mechanical design class!

Plenty of old bikes run cam shafts in plain aluminium castings with no issues for tens of thousands of kilometres. The issue is lubrication. Grease just is not good enough, gets flung off and never to be seen again. Everyone needs to get on the wet mod. Works wonders.

Having an old sarter armature inserted while tightening the bendix cover was an eye opener... |

FYI all -
One other place where binding can happen is between Pinion Gear (#17) and Starter Gear (#20). I have seen the two gears mesh too tightly, so that when you spin them by hand they feel "notchy" vs. spinning smoothly. What happens is that if you have a hard time getting the Starter shaft splines into the Starter Gear and use force (i.e., a rubber mallet or equivalent on the end of the Starter), it can push the two gears closer together making them hard to turn. It does not seem like this should happen, because the Starter Gear bottoms out onto a machined lip. But there is a slight amount of play between the machined lip and the circlip on the other side. I have inserted a thin punch between the gears when installing the Starter to make sure this doesn't happen. Jeff

(1) Try to buy a new Rieju bendix cover (with the bearings) as in the picture above. (2) Purchase the cover with bearings offered on Ebay as mentioned earlier in this thread. (3) Wait for gg3 to perfect his mod (install bushings in existing areas and machine Bendix & Pinion shafts to fit). One other idea, which I intend to post on more fully at some point, is to go with a 24V starting system. The extra power from doing this overcomes deficiencies in the gear drive system. My dealer has done 3 bikes like this. His battery solution is the "new news" as far as I am concerned - Antigravity makes a "small case" battery, and two of them will fit in the original GG battery compartment, stacked on one another. Wire up the second battery between starter solenoid and starter, and good to go! https://antigravitybatteries.com/pro...l-case/ag-401/ Did your starter work before you replaced gears/bearings/AS3 cover?
