Hello all, I am currently putting back together my 2008 electra x and I considering put the starter motor and sprag gear on as it came dissasembled in a box when I bought the bike. I have been reading previous posts about all the problems concerning the sprag bearing problem and know many will think that I am mad to even consider putting it back on the bike. I am going to retard the ignition a few degrees with one of Hitchcocks off set woodruff keys and will try using the valvelifter when starting [with no throttle!}and stopping and have my fingers and toes crossed.
Anyway this is my question
It looks to me that the sprag bearing can fit into the driven gear either way round. Then when the DRIVING gear is then put into position it will lock when turned clockwise or lock anticlock wise depending upon which way i have the bearing in. So with the driven gear flat on a work bench with sprag and driving gear in place which direction should the driving gear lock?
Thanks
