Noisy starter motor
Hi everyone,
I have a different starter motor problem to the recent posting and wondered if anyone had any advice.
When starting my XT600E about one time in 5 there is a very loud honk, like a goose! and the engine doesn't start. If I try again a few seconds later it usually starts without the noise.
Initialy I assumed that it was caused by the starter clutch rollers skidding across the ares they should grip on the alternator and so changed these rollers. First time I tried to start the bike it honked !
So I guess it must be the starter motor, maybe a bush or bearing turning in it's housing. Someone suggested a bush had dried out and that I should remove it, heat it up and drop it into a bucket of oil, so that as the bush cooled it would absorbe some of the oil. Is this a good idea ?
Haw easy is it to dismantle the starter motor (might it require air powered impact driver, which I don't have ? )
Thanks for any thoughts
Mark
