It started, but I encountered a problem
So Arsenic, the bike started, but there was a very loud whining noise, like a gear like medal spinning grinding at high rpms. So I immediately shut it off and pulled the cover off and there was smoke, so right away I started feeling around for something to be hot and sure enough the bearing that goes over the gear of the starter clutch assembly was hot. I believe that I have over-torqued the bolt causing the bearing to smash against the gear because I can see where the gear fits into the bearing through three holes around the bearing, and I noticed it seems to be rubbing against the gear itself. So you think this is the cause? Oh and do all three gears(starter armature, starter idle gear, and starter clutch gear) spin when the bike is running?
