Broken teeth on a starter gear is not uncommon butyou'll geta whinning sound.I think JG was talking about the last time he started the bike.Clicking sounds like no juice or a loose connection......pretty much what everyone else said

No Pig you don't do it as you ride. It's whencome toa stop...you push the start button to start moving again. No wonder you went through 15 pairs of gloves, I've only gone through 2.

I don't know why a bike has an accessory position anyways. They should relabel that key position as *** instead of ACC, because that's what you feel like after finding out you left it in that position overnight.

Same ignition switch they use on the dressers to power their stereos, GPS units, cigarette lighters, seat warmers, grip warmers, emergency flashers, etc with the engine off?

Probably...but I honestly think having all that crap is useless, too

Heated gloves hook straight to the battery....that's all I ever needed, lol.
