Starter Problem


Recommended Posts

Posted

Could anyone shed some light on the likely source of my starting problem on my 1100M please. When the starter button is pushed the starter makes a whinning sound like a jet engine starting !!!! it does eventually start the motor but there is an obvious problem. Is it most likely to be the motor itself (armature brushes ect) relay or starter clutch ??

Is it just a case of threadlocking and torquing the bolt back up ??

Yes, clean all mating surfaces and apply a good quality threadlocking agent. As that bolt has one of the highest torque settings on the whole bike (I.I.R.C. 150nm?) I normally ram the fucker home with an air impact gun on it's highest setting till I get the required 'bastard tight' setting needed. :)

Is a special lock up tool required ?

Nope. Bolt is going in to left side of crank. You could knock motor in to gear (don't think I even bothered) and air gun it home.;)
