[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 49805, member: 2708"] Hi Dag Good to know that it turns the 1200 over OK. A club member here has had one on his 998 Egli, it has been quite problematic with some broken Sprags and several broken shear pins. He uses a single mid sized Shorai which is not adequate. If the bike does not start on the first try, he needs to use jumper cables and find a helpful car owner. It seems to be quite important to keep the battery voltage up with the sprag setup. A lethargic turnover does not give good sprag engagement and can result in early sprag failure. This is a common problem on modern bikes as well. The pre 2002 Triumph 955 Daytonas are known for this. A weak battery can destroy the sprag, which is internal . The engine is then considered destroyed as the cost to repair is greater than the value of the complete bike. Fortunately after 2002 thiscwas changed so that the sprag can be replaced with a few hours of work. [/QUOTE]
