2003 lowrider starting problem

Hey,

I just got a 2003 dyna lowrider with about 5500mi a few months ago. Lately when I go to start the bike, if it doesn't start on the 1st turnover, the starter will just spin. It feels like there's no grab - no engaging of the starter clutch. It seems to be worse when the bike is warm/hot. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

-Doug

RE: 2003 lowrider starting problem

my battery was 3years old on my dyna and it did the same thing .esp when hot .i thought it was the starter for sure,but i took the cheap easy route first and no probs since . a new battery on a used bike is always good insurance anyway.
