looking for a solution to this problem XV1000 1981 model.I'm wondering if these are still available.Just finishing restoration .This is the outer idler pinion of the starter clutch assembly.Problem may have been result of starter motor failing thanks for any input you may have    Peter

I beleive he is looking for the starter clutch, also called Freilauf in german.

part no was 5A8-15517-00   no longer available but the replacement of this with a xv1100 1986 part solved the problem.This item has a less aggressive engagement spline works well.I changed the starter soleniod with a more recent one which was unsuccessful as the throw was just a couple of mm's greater and caused all sorts of problems and I had to revert back to the original.   thanks to all those that post issues on this forum.Happy motoring
