I am trying to determine if the issues I am experiencing with my starter are due to it being caused by the starter clutch or chain being dirty (which can be fixed by adding seafoam to the engine oil) or if it is something else.
My starter starts the engine up right away without issue when I start the bike cold, but if I start it up warm, then there tends to be a few moments of hesitatation. The starter engages but turns very slowly, but the engine will start after a few seconds every time.
A more recent development is now when I hit the starter, almost every time I will press the starter button, I will hear a click with no starter movement at all. But if I let go of the starter and hit it again, then it starts up just fine.
Again I am trying to determine if this is all something related to needing the starter clutch or chain be cleaned or if this is something more with the mechanical condition of the starter. Thoughts?
