Bummer...cannot start my bike. Bike was turning hard and then started to not turn but 'click' or 'buzz'. I ended up taking out the starter and
cleaned it and tested it and it tested fine. Put it back in the bike and before I put the starter gears back in I thought I would try it to be sure it still
functioned properly and it turned fine. After putting all gears back and buttoning up and refilling coolant I thought I would be good to go but when I went to
fire it up all I got was the buzzing/clicking. I put a meter on the battery and get 12+ volts before turning key. When I turn key it drops to 8 or 9 volts most
likely due to the headlamp/marker lights coming on but all I get is the buzz. As soon as I shut the key off the battery goes right back to the 12+V. I think
the battery is good due to this. I also attempted to fire the starter with a jumper cable direct from the positive battery post but got nothing. I am now
getting depressed and drinking beer.....any helpful advice appeciated!
