Motorcycle Repair: Yamaha V Max, yamaha v max, starter clutch


Question
Starter appears bad.  Whats involved in removing/installing starter on 1992 Yamaha V-Max?

Answer
Ron,
the starter has two bolts and a wire on it.
It is on the front left engine case. You may need to
remove the thermostat housing or hose for better
access.
There are also two relays and a clutch switch,
side stand switch, and neutral start switch involved
in the starting system. If it is slipping, you may need starter clutch work.
