3. Inspect the teeth (A,
Figure 48
) of the starter
wheel gear. Replace the gear if any teeth are worn,
broken or missing.
4. Inspect the bearing surface (B,
Figure 48
) of the
starter wheel gear for nicks or scratches. Replace
the wheel gear if it shows signs of wear.
5. Inspect the starter wheel gear bearing (
Figure
49
) for wear of other signs of damage. Replace the
bearing as necessary.
NOTE
The one way clutch and one way
clutch housing are not available sepa
rately. If either part is worn or dam
aged, replace the starter clutch
assembly.
6. Inspect the rollers in the one-way clutch (C,
Fig-
ure 46
) for wear or damage. All the rollers should
rotate freely. If there is damage or wear, replace the
starter clutch assembly.
OIL PUMP
The V-Star 1100 uses a two-stage oil pump to lu-
bricate the engine and the transmission. The pri-
mary side of the pump delivers oil to the oil filter,
through the crankshaft and onto the upper end. The
secondary side pumps oil to the transmission shafts.
In general, this oil pump is not serviceable. The
oil pump sprocket, sprocket cover and chain are the
only parts that can be replaced; other parts are not
available separately. If inspection reveals any faulty
part(s), replace the oil pump.
Removal/Installation
1. Drain the oil and remove the flywheel as de-
scribed in this chapter.
2. Remove the cover bolts (A,
Figure 50
) and re-
move the sprocket cover (B) from the oil pump.
3. Hold the oil pump driven sprocket with a
Grabbit or similar tool, and remove the oil pump
driven sprocket bolt (A,
Figure 51
).
4. Pull the oil pump driven sprocket (B,
Figure 51
)
from the shaft and remove the sprocket from the
drive chain.
5. Remove the oil pump bolts (A,
Figure 52
) and
pull the pump (B) from the crankcase. Watch for the
dowel (A,
Figure 53
) and two O-rings (B) behind
the pump.
