About a week ago I took my 05 RoadGlide for a 30 mile ride. As I was pulling back into the driveway I heard my starter spinning so I shut it down and coasted into the garage. I started it back up once I was in there and after it ran for a few minutes it did it again. It is not grinding like the gear is engaging but it was spinning. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem or could lead me in a starting point to fix the problem. Thanks to all and GOD Bless.

 

I would start by checking the starter button on the handlebar. Might be sticking. A faulty solenoid or even a weak battery can wreak havoc as well and make the starter act funny. How's your battery condition? A bad starter clutch would generally cause a grinding noise.

 

The same thing happened to my buddy and his problem was inside
the button area'
Had to fix up some wiring in there...
Check there first.

Starter button is the weakest point! start there. next look for a shorted wire. JMHO

 

contacts get corroded, a common problem.

 

Thanks Guys now that I think about it the problem may be in the Switch. The wires were really jammed in there when I put the Chrome covers on it and also I think I have the original battery in the bike. As always you folks are great. GOD Bless all of you!!!
