:help:
I posted earlier about the problems I was having with my starter, and thought I'd go into a bit more detail to see if anyone has any suggestions.
I ride an '83 Wing Interstate 1100, which is (mostly) stock. A few bits and pieces of lighting have been added over the years, but thats about all.
Anyway, I am starting to have problems with my starter, but pretty much ONLY when the engine is hot. Example being yesterday. Went out (it was cool out, maybe 65°) and she fired up right away. Took the wife for a cruise, say 45 min or so, on secondary highways, so never got up over 60 mph. We stopped at a gas station to fuel, and when I tried to start again, there was pretty much nothing...no click, no buzz, nothing. Rolled forward about a foot and popped the clutch to rotate the starter a bit, but still nothing.
I took the side panels off (as you can see, this has happened before) to get good air circulation going, and waited about 10 minutes, and sure enough, she started up again immediately. So............................any ideas? Is it the starter giving me that 'final warning'? Or could it be something else that I haven't considered? oh2:
