Please help I need info on removing the starter on my '82 aspencade the manual that I have is one covering 77-83 and is very vage. I was told that I had to drop the exhaust on the left side to access the starter. Can anyone help out with info on how to do this



Thanks

Randy

If it is anything like the 1200, you drop the exhaust, and then remove the two bolts holding the starter in place. Next you just pull it out of the hole.

Hello randysbaby1. Yes you need to drop the pipes a couple of inches to get the starter out. Also after you drop the pipes and before you pull the starter, put the bike on the side stand so that the drive sprocket doesn't roll into the engine. Theres a load of topics covering this in more detail if you want to do a search.

I got my starter off, 83 Aspencade, without dropping the pipes. It was super tight fit, but I used a deep well 8mm sockect, 1/4" drive to take the two bolts off the starter. It helps to have small hands.

If you have to drop the pipes, make sure you have a couple of spare exhaust studs handy, It' s rare to get them all off without at least one breaking.
