[QUOTE="GMAK, post: 1416630, member: 17060"] No currently, I've done no diagnostics. I don't really have the equipment/knowledge for such. That's why it's so frustrating. If the starter was "dragging" with a heavy load, I would have thought that would have been disclosed/corrected at the 20170518 starter relay. Surely, the dealer wouldn't miss something as basic as this? Would they! <gg> Recall, I never had any issues at all with this starter relay prior to 201705/~31.5K miles. Even though I'd have batteries weaken and be replaced. Of course, regarding a high load starter, then my last statement was simply rhetorical. On a more factual, but only observational topic, if a high load starter can be audibly detected, I certainly detect no sound of dragging/??. Usually, and actually ~1.5 hours before failure, the bike seemed to spin up and come to life with little effort. However, that ride, more typical than not, was probably 3 miles maximum, from home. Which it where I was returning. I'm further pondering my options/paths now. Do I really want to return to the dealer of the last failure, ~2 years ago? Thanks, for your contribution(s). [/QUOTE]
