AdministratorThank You, Stephen I am still dealing with the Starter problem. Sent it to Spyke they have it now. I only have 2500mi and Wayne at Spyke said compression releases not opening at start-up can be early death to a starter

AdministratorThe main reason for compression releases is to reduce the amount of compression during the start up of your bike. Here are some methods of checking out S&S electronic compression releases.
1. Note that when you are cranking the engine that both releases are opening; this can be done by looking to see of they both drop down or by putting your finger on top and feeling the drop down motion.
2. Compression releases not sealing; to check for proper seal of the release you can do a leak down test. If the leak down percentage is high and you can here air in the exhaust it is possible that a release may not be properly sealing. If this is the situation you will need to remove both releases and verify condition. (When ever you are installing or removing compression releases it is best to remove the rocker boxes it makes the job much easier.) To verify condition, after the releases are removed look for signs of the plunger not properly sealing. Some times a poorly tuned engine will cause access carbon to build up on the release causing it to stick. The releases can be cleaned and reinstalled. If the release seems to be damaged call your S&S tech line for assistance.
3. Check the wiring; If you do not have the releases properly wired they may not work properly and you could run the risk of damaging the releases or some thing else on your bike. If you are unsure you can see the instruction sheets for installation on line at http://www.sscycle.com.
4. When removing or installing our releases it is much easier to remove the rocker boxes and also the use of the S&S two piece socket will help PN 53-0045.

AdministratorOne more question
Just at looking it seems only 2 bolts hold starter on back of primary cover, removed the horn looks like easy. Could I be so lucky? Any pointers welcome/appreciated . It seems to have a dead spot it starts perfect most of the time with the new 310 CCA battery but then it will crap out and I have to push it off to start, so I guess I’ll break down and send to Spyke before it gets me on flat ground.loop-single-reply.php

AdministratorBreakers are in the brain box mounted on the rear splash guard. (Not easy to get to, gotta pull the rear tire.) Check the wires all the way from the signal to the box to make sure there are no bare spots.

AdministratorAre the signals swing arm mounted or on the fender? What year & model? The breakers are either mounted on the splash guard or in the key box.
