SubscriberI blew the clutch in the starter, when I pulled the primary I saw the gear was coming out and engaging but not spinning even though I could hear the starter spinning just fine.
i replaced the starter with a New one and it works great now! I also had the battery checked and it is working ok. So I learned a little and it was not too expensive.loop-single-reply.php

SubscriberWell I finally got the bike back from the shop and the brake system has been completely gone through and repaired…Yea it works good 😆
I ride around for a little bit to just to get a feel of the bikes handling, I need to practice my right hand turns but my left hand turns are fine I can drag the stand without difficulty B)
Well I get home, I adjust the clutch cable length cause the turnbuckle was loose spinning…not to tight though, and left plenty of free play at the handle.Then I went to start it… :huh: a bad sound happens :sick: then all I get is the starter spinning and the solenoid never engaging :pinch:
So Saturday I’ll open up the primary and see if I can determine what is wrong.
I really hope this is a good bike that will hold together for a ride to Vegas from Riverside when I get straightened out what the PO never maintained… :whistle:loop-single-reply.php

SubscriberBut I only think it’ll work short term because the gas will probably deteriorate the rubber :unsure: , (depending on type) so I would not leave it in too long…just to get home.

SubscriberThanks for the Info, I contacted the place I bought it from and the lead wrench said they will take care of it if i can get the bike to them since it is a safety issue and less than 30 days since purchase.
i hope they just change the whole assy out for a new one. But at least I have the tools and know what to do if it ever happens out on the road in the desert 40 miles from the nearest town! :blink:loop-single-reply.php
