Kwaka 750 LTD starter motor

[klogan45]

Can anyone help out please.... my mat has a 750 LTD, which has developed a starter problem.
When he presses the button, there's a horrible graunching noise. It will eventually start....at the moment.
Can anyone tell me what this may be?
Another mate reckons that its either the starter or the starter ring gear. I had a Virago with the same symptoms but that turned out to be the starter clutch ( spragg clutch ?) I found this to be quite an easy and fairly cheap fix.
Does the LTD 750 have a spragg clutch? Or is the starter similar to that on a car? Any other ideas would be gratefully recieved. (except those that say 'get rid of the bloody thing, burn it etc )
Thanks all
Regards
K

Cant remember if this is the 750 or1000 setup but either way it`ll be somethin like

its a fairly common fault its the springs and rollers in the assembly that get worn and weak sometimes just stretching the springs to make them longer provides a fairly good temp repair.

Thanks to you both for your replies. We'll probably have a look and try and sort it over the week end
I'll keep you posted
