Posted June 5, 201113 yr I'm after some advice please guys,the starter clutch has packed up on my 535 virago so i got a repair kit to sort it,when i took the starter clutch off i found 2 cracks in it so obviously that is no good,the thing i am wondering is this the number of the starter repair kit i got is the same for a few Yamaha models so is it likely that the starter clutch will be the same on those as the 535,ie could i use one from another yamaha on my 535 because the 1 for the 535 is above 200 quid and bloody hard to find. Cheers Al
June 5, 201113 yr This is only a guess !!! so dont take my word for it ! They could be the same. Get your correct number and a picture of the starter clutch,,,,,,,,now pull up some pictures of the other model bikes with the same number,,,,,,,closely match the pictures to see if there the same. Yamaha do often use the same parts in some of there bike models. Quick eg...... FZR, FZS, TCat, R1,,,,,,,,,,these often use the same parts engine wise ! HTH

June 5, 201113 yr Trouble with Yamaha they use different numbers for the identical item if it's for a different bike,crafty buggers Aaaaaa,,,,,,,yes,,,,,,,now that you mention it,,,they do indeed. So i suppose your only hope is that someone has done it allready and can tell you,,,,,,,,otherwise you'd have to have the two items in your hands to compare them. I'm no help at all to ya really
