[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1394686, member: 19880"] Start with a DC clamp-on ammeter to see how much current the starter is drawing. If you are north of 100 amps, it is a pretty good chance that the starter is bad. If current is not that high, you may have starter solenoid (or other) issues. If you have "Yes", it becomes the dealer's problem but it is nice to know what it is before taking it in. You don't want them taking a week to diagnose, two weeks to get the parts (whatever is needed) and another couple of weeks to get it fixed! Happens too often this time of year when everyone is trying to get bikes back on the road. [/QUOTE]
