Why does starting with the clutch lever pulled in only enough to let the starter engage make starting easier on the sprag ? Just out of interest, thanks
I agree with Ed. The sprag needs to have some load on it in order to remain engaged throughout the start sequence of the bike.
If the engine "free-wheels" or moves enough to take load off the sprage, the sprag disengages and re-engages rapidly under load and that is the damage mechanism.
