[QUOTE="b-bike393, post: 1398792, member: 90313"] Update: I removed the starter (You're right Harald. BIG JOB!!!) There was just a tad bit of oil inside the seal but no oil or carbon between the posts. To be on the safe side I took the starter motor internals over to the air compressor and blew everything out. Prior to reinstalling the starter motor I bench tested for proper operation. Everything worked fine. The one thing I didn't do was the amp check. In 20-20 hindsight, maybe I should have. After getting everything back on the bike it refuses to start. It's still the same type issue. Cranks over like a very weak battery. Also, there is a whining noise coming from the starter relay every time I attempt to start. All the terminals are clean and tight. Plus, I cleaned all wiring plugs during reassemble. Other than doing the amp check on the starter motor, are there any other things I should look at? [/QUOTE]
