I recently bought an old xs400 '85. It runs great, but when it's cold I sometimes experience a problem with the electric starter.

When I push the button, it turns over but sometimes it sort of runs free and doesn't turn over the engine. This morning i had to push start it, because it wouldn't catch.

So - the starter is activated and turns over, but it tempts to run "free" without catching.

Any tips on how to fix this?
 
Sounds like its the starter clutch I'm afraid. bit of a pain to do.

If you download the manual on this site you can see for yourself.
