from what ive been reading most starters for motorcycles have switched from a bendix drive to a sprag type of clutch , unsure about cars/trucks. What is the idle speed of the motorcycle compared to the starter for the 1.3L motorcycle?

and can you imagine that start being able to last freewheeling continually *starter engaged* while the engine is idling and reving , thats HALF of the kind of abuse it would have to be able to handle.

definitely agree about the springs not being able to handle the speed and cycle transition speeds they would be exposed to with the ball bearing type clutches
