Okay... So Long story short.
For 15 years, at least, I have been trying to find a replacement for the starter sprag. They were manufactured for Suzuki by NSK Warner and even using the original NSK Warner number, I had no luck in finding a replacement.
Occasionally NSK dead stock shows up and one or two can be found, but not a real solution to the issue.
After much research and many disappointments, I finally found a company that listed the size needed as a "Standard Stock item". They were not telling the truth. It was a custom order part and while the dimensions "seemed" right. I don't believe it until it is in my hand/installed in my bike. Last year during the pandemic, I decided to pony up and get one made for testing. I received it at the beginning of this year.
It has now been installed in one of my test mules for quite some time and works perfectly. A couple of months ago, I made my order with the company and due to the Minimum order, I now have more than I will use in my lifetime.
I am now offering them to others. Cost shipped in the lower 48 is $150.00. Cost to other parts of the world will be determined by location.
You may email me at RotaryRecycle@gmail.com for purchasing instructions.
These are failing at an alarming rate, as they are now close to 50 years old. I was down to my last two units, so I made the decision to reach into my pocket, because I need them. In my opinion, it is not a matter of if they will fail, it is when.
Regards,
