I need some help here.Last week after about a 2 hour ride, I pulled into a gas station and I could hear gears meshing. Not too loud but I did not like the sound of it at all. When I started it the other day it made the meshing noise so I shut it for a couple of minutes and when I went to started it again, it started as soon as I turned the key. I never touched the start switch but it started. I pulled it around to the front of the house and shut it off for about a half an hour and when I restarted it ,it was normal so I shut it off and back on and it started with the key. Anyway I switched out the starter relay and the brake relay with no different results. Has anyone else ever had this problem and if so , how do you fix it and is it possible to be the starter clutch ?Thanks

 

You might want to post in the Touring section, your bike is not a Dyna. Some things are common but not necessarily so.
I would look at the starter switch wiring first.
