xivlia's thread of nc30 problems and questions

[xivlia]

the battery voltage was fulll.

[xivlia]

okay i tested the starter motor, and its working 100%, there has to be something else thats getting jammed.... the starter motor drives the starter clutch... im guessing thst fucked? still havent managed to check that yet, i will do that tomorrow. but if there is anything else that could be the problem please let me know :\. could valve clearances cause a problem like this? just asking.

[xivlia]

quick update. i tried to remove the starter clutch bolt... and it will not move at all.... tried everything.... tried locking the gears with a towel.... and holding the rear brake with my feet as hard as possible... and tried to undo it.... the wheel wont move, but the gears will still jitter about. kinda annoyed. is there any other way of removing this stupid bolt?

Short from using a air gun theres not much else you can do but try a bit harder, ive never known one to be that hard to remove.

[xivlia]

yeah, its strange, it shouldnt be this hard to remove.. maybe thats where all my problem is... maybe the bearing inside it is fucked hence why it jams on me when trying to start the bike... im putting all my hopes on the starter clutch.. PLEASE let that be broken so i can buy a new one and fix the damn problem, but yeah. i was looking at impact guns, might need one. or i might try a breaker bar.

[Drunkn Munky]

I assumed you were using a breaker bar, it should come undone with one. Dont forget you should be using a torque wrench to tighten it back up

[xivlia]

il use the breaker bar tomorrow. and see how it goes.

Your turning it the right way I presume?
