2008 Ultra Starter Grind
#21
2008 Ultra have the starter pulled to install the new All ***** starter clutch.
Questions - to pull the starter clutch I'm assuming I need to remove bolts A and B for sure.
They only have a phillips head, do those strip easily? I don't see it having a hex head.
Do bolts C and D need to be loosened too? I am assuming so, but, hard to see the seam on the starter for which part of it detaches due to the powdercoat.
What pitfalls to be aware of? HD kit comes w/ a new spring? this part does not?
ALSO, the kit came w/ 2 o-rings. I am assuming one of them goes where I marked in the picture? it borders the primary entry, correct? are there other o-rings to replace? this one circled is a bit crusty and worn it looks like.

Just wanted to follow up and close this topic:
I picked up an All ***** 07-17TC starter clutch and the problem is completely fixed. It was NOT the compensator. The bike starts solid again warm or cold and there is no bang or clunking in the primary. Shifting is smooth as silk with no surging. Very happy once again.
Oh, the only issue I ran into was very stupid on my part. I did not realize that they had already included a ball bearing packed in grease into the clutch, so, I dropped my old ball in there and reassembled. Needless to say, they pinion was sticking out the diameter of the extra ball. Scratched my head on that one for a bit then took it apart and removed the extra. LOL

Looks like the little ball is buried in the shaft of the new starter clutch, hard to see it? was this your case too? I have to assume its in there as its grease packed and no way to really verify its in there.

thanks, I did read that yesterday, rereading it made more sense now that my starter is removed.
He stated the HD kit comes w/ a new spring, this All ***** starter clutch did not.
I am guessing using the original spring will be ok? bike only has 15k on it.
Thanks again.
