nah, the gear on the kicker shaft, bottom centre of pic,
look at the teeth from where that gear meshes into the top (middle gear)and anticlockwise from there,
on the first 5 or 6 teeth you can see where the middle gear has been pulling down on the teeth.
it was due for replacement soonish anyway

i would be replacing all 3x gears, there is a 3rd, smaller gear that sits behind the clutch too.
being smaller means it turns faster and contacts the middle gear more, so it'd could be worn more than the other 2x gears.
they are available individually too, but if any of the 3 are worn and you just replace one, this wear will transfer to the new gear/s and you wont be much better off.
ebay and some of the sponsors here have them available in sets of 3.
but, different engines can take a different sized gear, so make sure you remove your gears first, so you can measure the i/d / bore, and count the # of teeth on the gears, then you can buy the correct set for your engine.

Legend!!!
And thanks Nick let me go through all the grief so u and Corey are on easy street lol
Ok so just got the slinger off
Now my prob is that in order to get the nut off the clutch the inner of the clutch spins and I don't know how to lock it up??
If I can get it all apart I can go see Greg at buzz and see if he has all three cogs the little one behind the basket is worn to buggery too so I'll replace all three... Getting there now

can you get another pair of hands to help?
hold the clutch basket with a strap type oil filter wrench, and then give the locknut a crack with a hammer / large blunt flat headed screwdriver.
i did mine just with the motor in gear, but it could stress the gearboxs' gears too.
you could also get a large flat headed screwdriver and use it as a lever over your kickstart shaft and put the blade of the screwdriver into the gear on the back of the clutch to lock it up.

I'll give it a crack at lunch but the clutch basket isn't spinning it's the inside of the clutch that spins when I go to get the nut off the outer of the clutch basket doesn't turn

SUCCESS!!!!
Found a nice way to hold all the clutch together so that the inside doesn't spin on itself . Just put back the face plate bolts with the clutch springs and use little washers between the head of the bolt and the spring so you put it all back under tension and lock the cogs up with a screwdriver and you can get the nut off the clutch basket easy as! Most of you are probably just rolling your eyes wondering how long could this possibly take but I'm stoked hehe
So now I'll be able to slide everything off and get to all the gears which I'll have to wait a bit to buy due to cash flow and VCM coming up but shouldn't be long now !!
Just wondering do all the gears slide off or attend there circlips or something locking them in??

good thinking,
and circlips hold the kick start gears on.
and circlips hold the kick start gears on.
we all get stuck on things the 1st time and then the next time it becomes easier and easier
the circlips you may be able to get off with a big flat head screwdriver if you dont have some circlip pliers
make sure you put your hand on the other side of them because boy can those things fly... then the kick gears will be able to be slid off
