Flywheel removal and lambda sensor

Had that dreadful grinding noise last week when went to start bike.

Whipped side cover off to find starter motor slack. Goodness knows how long its been like that.
needless to say the valeo bendix is well worn. Ring gear looked a little damaged but not too bad.

So replaced starter with this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Anlasser-Sta ... 2749.l2649 . Not a bad deal put it in and she started and then started grinding once I tried again. #-o The teeth on the other side of the ring gear are well worn. Bit of damage done by knackered teeth to bendix. :-"

I'm looking at a sachs replacement flywheel as opposed to and OE part, would it be worth considering a second hand one? Depending on thickness of plates may consider a new clutch too.

Any how, went to take off exhaust noticed the lambda sensor wires had been cut, the plug has been removed from its socket on the harness too. :-k :-k .
Are there any obvious alterations that could have been made? What should I be looking for if so?

I'm presuming ill need to lock the crank manual states locking tool, have read about locking pin at TDC. Any other special tools required ?

Any other hints I've seen Mr Harris video.

My intention was to leave back end in situ and just lift out of way, would that be the easiest as I probable wont have an assistant?

Cheers for any advice

Why do you want to replace the flywheel. With the new starter motor bendix, does it work OK?

The fly wheel is gubbed.

Ive seen a lot worse. Does the starter motor engage OK with it?

Can you reposition it so the starter engages on a different area of the ring gear

Have you got the gearbox already separated from the engine? If you have, then I agree that changing out that flywheel makes sense. If it's not, then if the starter motor engages, i'd leave the job till the eventual clutch change.

Starter motor does not engage. The other side is much worse but don’t have a pic.

That’s it then - get your spanking trustees on.
