Strange noise when clutch is engaged
2009 flhtcu, My bike started to make a noise on the way home from work when I pull the clutch. It sounds like the starter is trying to engage. Any clues?

I would start by checking the following:
- Clutch adjustment
- Primary Chain Adjustment
- Inspect tensioner shoe
- Primary Oil Level
- Transmission Oil Level

I was able to isolate the problem. Once I started the bike I unplugged the starter solenoid. Rode it for 20 miles and no problems. I believe the problem to be in the switches or harness.

A 2009 police bike, from my former department, did the same thing one time years ago. If I remember right, I sprayed some silicone in the starter switch and button locations on the switch housing, worked the switch and button a number of times (shut off of course) and it never came back.
