[QUOTE="luvtoride, post: 1302133, member: 250"] I think that I have one. I have a volt meter installed. What is the magic # that I'd be looking for to know the stater is pulling a shitload of current. Here are my symptoms... It has been doing it for awhile. Dealer told me that the starter isn't my issue. A battery is my issue. That was a year-ish ago. A new battery installed & issue disappeared for the most part for several months... but it is back now & has slowly reared it's head since battery replacement. It only seems to happen if I stop for gas or anything that makes me turn the bike off & then trying to start it back up in a short amount of time after. Before it would turn very very slow (no clock reset), I'd hit the button again & usually it would kick over with a try or two. So, yesterday I take my first ride of the season after charging the battery with a trickle charger. Embarrassingly enough I haven't been on the bike since October... so I trickle charged my battery about a day & 1/2. I stop for gas & bike will not re-start. even after several tries of the starter button. & I even got NOTHING... no turning at all. I'm not sure why I tried it but I did a WFO throttle causing fast starter & bike starts right up. WTH man! Anyway, does this sound like the starter? I had one anticipating needing it & cannot find it. Before purchasing another I'd like to be sure that this is my problem. [/QUOTE]
