jacob1996 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 hey everyone my bike sat for 4 months, it got flooded with gas before that and didn't think anything of it. so I changed my oil and then tried to crank it up but it does nothing. if I take the right side crankcase cover off it will try to crank like normal, but with it on it does nothing. I have found that my starter reduction gear gets stuck and wont allow the starter motor to turn to turn the flywheel with the cover on but when off it will turn what do I do since I have tried everything. help would be much apricated. my bike is also a 1994 vfr 750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted July 23, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted July 23, 2018 Maybe this is the issue, but there should be a washer (#11) between that gear and the engine. Upon removing the cover, pin #2 can get stuck in the cover and as you pull the cover of, that washer may fall out/down. So pull that gear and check if the washer is still in place. If not, where is it? That gear is not "timed"so it does not matter in which position your put it back. Putting it back with the O ring at the back is a fiddly business. Be prepared to walk away after a couple of attempts, utter a few swear words and try agian. You will succeed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can just stick it on the front! The Service Manual Page 17-10 Clearly shows the washer/Spacer (8) MUST fit Behind the starter reduction gear (7). Have you Download the Service Manual? So did the Starter Reduction Gear Shaft(6) pull out with the side cover removed? if so then as Dutchy said the washer/spacer(8) would have dropped. But if the shaft stayed in position and you found the washer/spacer, then it was possibly fitted incorrectly on the front some time ago and may have caused the issue you're having now. That washer/spacer must go behind the gear(7) not in front of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
