A few years ago I was passing through and stopped in Grassroots BMW in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Noted airhead Guru John Simmons gave me a few tips on maintaining my 92R100GS in tip top running order.
One of his tips involved taking the starter apart, cleaning it and re-lubing it to prevent drag which leads to overheating which leads to the magnets falling out.
I cannot remember all the details involved in doing this. Does anyone have suggestions or advice on performing this service on the starter? Type of solvent to use in cleaning, type of grease, what to grease, etc? Mine is starting to drag when disengaging.
Thanks for any advice.
