07 Road king
Hope I got the right forum this time,, anyways Road king police special about 3 months ago I parked bike at a drink stop jumped on an hour or so later and not start,, the only thing I did different was not stop in nuteral,, gave the starter a bit of tap and seemed to go OK,, have tried this several times now, and same result,, any ideas,? Is this likely to get worse over time?
Thanks for answers in advance guts and girls

So you tapped on starter and it started? It's not going to fix itself
I would make sure cable is tight. Probably replace starter clutch if not loose. Best case is start trouble shooting with meter when it doesn't start.
nice thing with 07 is don't have to open primary to change starter. I use long Allen socket and pull them both from right side. Though I got 2-1 exhaust.

What I love about these threads is lack if help from the guy who started it.
since the guy didn't tap on starter relay, not where I would start, unless I had a meter in my hand.

Jason Double: Don`t even think about replacing the starter.
But do give us a better description of what the problem is, your original post is not clear.
