Starter locking up
Went to start my bike today and it sounded like the starter kinda locked up. Did it a couple of times today, bad drive or starter? Kinda made a spin and clunked. Never heard this before, any suggestions?

RE: Starter locking up
Probibly not the same thing, but I did have a simalar experiance. The first time it happened the bikes first crank was slow, then started ok. A few days later, the starter hesitated, then CLUNK. Then it started ok the next time. A few days later I was installing a GPS and needed to find the 12V swiched source in the headlight housing. I hooked up my multimeter and turned the key on and it read 11.4 volts. I removed the seat and checked the battery and it was 12.5 volts. It ended up that I had a bad connection at my negative cable to the battery. I cleaned it up and never had the starter problem again.
