[QUOTE="GMAK, post: 1416644, member: 17060"] In my recent forum review, looking for similar faults, I saw many owners that reported "slow to spin" | "dragging starters". That audible sensation was my reference to starter sound warning/detection. I'm in no position to argue, and I agree with your assessments. But, it seems to me that having a bad starter(unloaded, high current draw) is more criminal on a <35K FJR, than having a bad relay. Not that I'm defending the 201705 repair dealer, but they came and got the dead bike, hauled it to their facility, reported the fault cause to me, and I retrieved the repaired bike. The bike wouldn't start when sent to the dealer, and returned working for nearly 2 years. Maybe not permanent, but the dealer must have done something positive to it. Maybe not FJR specific tycoons, but I probably can gain access to others more knowledgeable than I. Thanks. Like I said earlier, I'm slowly devising a plan. [/QUOTE]
