Trouble shooting

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Good day Guys.

I HAVE A 2016 sportster. Recently I have a funny noise with startup. Almost like the starter is running, but no spark. It doesnt happen everytime. We are also in lockdown, but we are aloud to go to the shops for essentials, so I do ride every 3 -4 days.

Any idea what it could be?

No spark in the starter is not a thing, but the rest of your description suggests the starter clutch is not engaging.

Make sure your gun is cleaned and properly oiled. That solves most of my issues when I have trouble shooting. (I think we could throw a 'That's what he said in here' as well.)
