slight problem. when i try to use the electric starter on the bike it will start to turn over the motor then it will just start spinning without the motor turning over. stripped gear maybe? what would happen if the starter clutch goes out?
The rotor mounting bolt is not tight enough.
cranked the mounting bolt down with my impact and it still has the same problem. im thinking that the gear on the starter is stripped. any ideas?

The gear is under the alternator cover but its very unlikely to be the problem . Does it sound like a bunch of ball bearings in a blender when you hit the start button ? Could be the starter clutch . Need to pull the rotor off to get at it .

Sort of. If it is the starter clutch how would I go about fixing it? The motor will turn over a few times then stops and I hear the spinning. Then I let off the button and as the starter motor winds down it feels like it grabs all of a sudden.

im guessing that it is the starter clutch. in that case i was wondering if this starter clutch kit will work?

Starter Clutch Repair Kit
#24-5001 | Honda CB750K (1976-1978)
Starter Clutch Repair Kit $28

i looked up the diagrams and from what i found both the k1 and k7 use that same starter clutch so i am guessing it will work

I checked part numbers between K6 and K1 models and the numbers are the same . The kit will work in a K1 . If you don't have a rotor puller you might think of ordering one at the same time . Check the starter gear where the rollers contact the gear for chatter marks . I don't know what best way of removing the marks is . Maybe have the shoulder turned down by a machinist ? I'm building an engine right now and this is one of the things I have yet to address . There is also a seal in that gear (Honda P.N. 91215-300-003  Measures 25x33x4 MM ). I don't know if the P.N. is still current .

i mostly just want to outrun my friends 1200xr sportster. any advice would be greatly appreciated

Your stock bike should have been able to do that without breaking a sweat.
A CB500 can do that with ease!

got the gauge mounted on the bike. also think the starter is going out. after the bike warms up i turn it off and try to restart it and the starter has a very high amp draw. all the lights on the bike get very dim and the battery says 12v. so for now i unplugged it and removes the reduction gear. synced up the carbs and started tuning them and found that i need to drop the needle and increase the main jet size. im loving this new gauge :)
