[QUOTE="Intech, post: 1416631, member: 18497"] There is no "audible" sound from a bad starter. I have replaced two of them. You have to measure the current draw to determine. If it is the dealer that has claimed it was the starter relay then I would not have any faith in that dealer. It is hard to find one that really knows what they are doing. In all the years I have been dealing with FJR's I can't recall ever hearing that someone had to replace a starter relay. Always ask for the parts back that they replaced. I believe you would have a good spare relay. I. too, suspected the relay when dealing with the bike with the starter issue. I took the starter out of the bike and tested it and it was drawing well over 100 amps with no load. I would definitely check the starter before doing anything else. You need to find another FJR owner near you that is familiar with working on the bike. [/QUOTE]
