I'm such a newbie, "sprag clutch" I've put the order in for a open clutch cover but unsure what the sprag means. I fired well enough the last time I tried an run well to the end of the road before the fan cut in an drained the battery again. From there I had the walk of shame, pushing a superbike Sad don't want this to happen to many times. What do you guys do with regards to temp before riding ?

the sprag clutch is run by the starter motor, it keeps the starter gears from grunching.

when the bike is cold in the morning how do you start it well ?? I pull the choke lever, press the start button .... the starter motor responds and brings the pistons into compression, but then at the moment of maximum effort it stops and I have to press the button again, I have to do this 4/5 times and then the bike starts ...... on the other hand, when the bike is hot, it starts the first time the button is pressed the problem when the bike is cold and the starter does not run 3 or 4 full turns without interruption !! at each compression stroke of the pistons it stops

Battery new Ytx12 bs 10ah


my sprag clutch has already been replaced with the new piero model with m5 screws ..... the clutch works well because if I make a by-pass on the remote control switch the free wheel turns freely with uninterrupted energy

I could make a video the bike still comes on always not a problem .... but I would like it to start on the first or second fault even from cold !! instead it starts at 4/5 instead when the bike is warm, it is faster than light
