[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 631959, member: 6354"] Well, shit! No change. Bike won't start hot. New battery, apparently good starter, haven't found any gunked-up cables, positive or ground, so I'm now officially frustrated. When the bike is hot, starter cranks over weakly, just a couple of turns, and stops. Another kick will get a grunt out of it. This is not a fuel issue where the bike cranks but won't fire. It doesn't crank. If you jump it from a car or a portable booster it cranks and fires OK, so something is soaking up my amps to the point I have to supply more than the bike itself can. Or, no booster available, I can wait 20 or 30 minutes and it cranks and starts just fine. Bump-start works every time, but slopes are few and far between around here. Glad you guys enjoyed the pics of my starter. Now what? Oh, for your further amusement: When putting shit back together, don't install the tip-over sensor upside down. Easy fix, but made me feel just a tad stupid. :huh: (If you're asking why I had to remove that, it covers up one of the screws for the tool tray, which had to come out to allow the airbox to come out.)
