If it's any consolation, I changed the starter button, starter,
solenoid, battery, cleaned all cables, and adjusted the timing and I
still get a hesitation every now and then. Used to be much worse before
all of the replacements, but I believe some fellow owners say it is
common with these engines, all depends on where in the piston stroke the
bike was shut down, if in the compression stroke, it takes alot of juice
to turn her over.

| Been discussed before, you say? Can you stand another go-round? I recently removed and cleaned up my starter when the solenoid failed. I had previously cleaned up all starter connections and ground thinking this combination of maintenance would improve starting.. it didn't. I have a pushbutton starter on the handlebar. The effect when pushing the button is a 1 or 2 second delay, followed by a healthy spin. Is this the deal where you use a relay?.. and if so, don't suppose someone could walk me thru it? I'm obviously not a electrical whiz.. if not relay related (maybe I've got that mixed up with some other issue).. should I just start by replacing the button..? thanks in advance, Bill |
