    Starter

    I’ll admit that I’m being lazy here but my new to me 99’ R11RT starter sounds ike crap after the motor has caught and started. Starter clutch? I know my batt is in decline but I don’t think that’s the total reason. Anyone can offer a suggestion? TY

    Does starter spin with the sprag clutch 87 k100rt

    Hi, Does anyone know if the starter will spin with the sprag clutch after the bike is started and running? When the bike is cold it makes a strange noise in the first 30 seconds or so, not every time , sounds like a fast spinning wobbly bearing. Last maybe 2 seconds. Thanks

    2004 1150RT starter noise

    My starter continues to make noise after releasing the starter button . I saw a recommendation to lubricate the starter . Does that sound logical ? If so ,what is it specifically that needs lubrication and what lube would you use ?:wave
