so when you start your bike
does it sound like this
(engine starts slowly)
so it seems like sometimes on the compression stroke the starter motor will stop turning
the engine
it just seems like it turns a little bit slower than it use to
usually it is the ground on the starter
(intro music playing)
what I am pointing to right there
is the ground for the starter
goes directly to the battery
that terminal
tends to get corrosion on it
even the slightest amount of corrosion
will cause the starter
not to turn the engine as fast as it possible can
i'm going to remove that screw
get that wire out
clean it up with a wire brush
and that's the wire
you can see its got some corrosion on there
doesn't look bad but that's enough to
cause issues with the starter motor
so I'm going to take the wire brush
and clean that up real good
I'm going to do both sides
nice and shiny
now
take the bolt
I'm going to clean that up
get that corrosion off of there
washer back on
put the so called star washer on
I'm going to clean that one up
flip it over
clean the other side
do this washer here too
alright, put that washer back on
don't forget Loctite on your bolt
now the hard part is getting that wire back in there
I know you guys can't see this, it is very tight in here
so
it is what it is, you know what I mean
doing the best I can
alright put that bolt back in through the terminal on the wire
so their is usually two of these lock washers, one on each side of the teminal
I will just clean this one up a little bit
you got the bolt, the two washers
and the terminal is in the middle
so now we got to put this back into the starter hole
or starter mount
okay, she's all back together
now we'll go ahead and start her up and see if she's any better
(engine starts quickly three times)
so there you go
big improvement
now she turns over a lot faster
and starts up faster
what a difference
so if you are having problems with your starter motor
turning the engine over slow
or even stopping on the compression stroke
check that negative wire
on your starter motor
clean it up
put it back together
and I think
I can say, I guarantee it is going to
turn the engine over much better
you all take care
I hope this tip is helpful to somebody out there
God bless
See you all on the next one
bye, bye
