The electric starter have started to sound terrible, when I start the bike. Any idea how to fix the electric starter engine?

What does it sound like, clicking, grinding or slow cranking?





Here's a thread on how to remove it. With pics

Before you go tearing into the starter make sure it just isn't a low battery. Fill it with distilled water and put it on a slow charger. A weak battery will cause what you describe.

And don't forget to check the cables. Corrosion at the connections act like resistors.



Battery water level, and cable corrosion... often the problem with poor starting.

It may be your starter clutch as well. When I hit the starter button it had a grinding noise and then eventually just a zing and it wouldn't start. It turned out to be the starter clutch. The bolts had sheared off and the starter motor couldn't engage the engine. I really hope its not the starter clutch because its a pain to do and expensive.



What year is your bike? Got any video of it?

You kind of just have to muscle it.
