Got my engine back yesterday - the sprag clutch assembly wasn’t broken in the traditional way (failed spring) but rather the sprocket had a big chunk and around 4 teeth taken off.
I imagine this originated when I once fitted the ignition coils in the wrong order and the engine kicked back pretty hard after failing to start.
Also a little worrying: the mechanic warned me that the main clutch plate is only held on by 4 of 5 spring and bolts. I’ve probably put 5000 miles on the bike since buying it, without that being a problem, but definitely going to be fixing that!
