2011 wide glide starter/solenoid problem
Hello HD forums, 
Happy to see that such a community exists! I am new here and desperately looking for some advice and conversation about my starter off my wide glide. This motorcycle has only 11,000 miles on it and has a healthy battery.
With no warning the starter quit doing its job, just clicking, no starting, had to bump it off to get it started and home (wide glides don't like being push started either).
All fuses and wires are in tact and happy, the battery tests @ 13.0, and I am out of warranty. I REALLY do not like the idea of replacing this starter, seems like a waste... If i must, I must replace with an aftermarket starter which I do not want to do either. Any suggestions or feed back will be greatly appreciated.
I will attach my video, for a better description. I am doing the work myself, and do have a service manual in hand.
Thanks HD forums! cheers.

Reading voltage across the terminals doesn`t mean the battery is good, the chattering solenoid is a classic symptom of low voltage.
Get the battery load tested before you spend any money.
