starter failure?
seems most days anymore I go to start the Dyna and I get a high pitch sound or clicking from the starter and it doesn't attempt to turn the motor over, if I keep after it, it eventually starts the bike
the battery has a full charge, does the starter motor tend to do this as it is going down for good?

thanks brothers!
from the manual:
GENERAL
The starter is made up of an armature, field winding assembly,
solenoid, drive assembly, idler gear and drive housing.
The starter motor torque is increased through gear reduction.
The gear reduction consists of the drive pinion on the armature,
an idler gear and a clutch gear in the drive housing. The
idler gear is supported by rollers. The clutch gear is part of
the overrunning clutch/drive assembly.
The overrunning clutch is the part which engages and drives
the clutch ring gear. It also prevents the starter from overrunning.
The field windings are connected in series with

If the starter motor is spinning, the pinion and ring gears are engaged.
The starter motor will not spin until the solenoid has pushed the pinion gear into the ring gear on the clutch.
Starter clutch is the culprit (All ***** sells a great replacement unit at a price much lower than Harley).
The starters used on Harleys since the `89 model year are very durable, they are common automotive starters used on countless models of autos.
