CB650 Nighthawk Starter Motor Problem

<< < (2/3) > >>

mike the bike:
Nice looking bike that, hope it's nothing serious and you get to ride it soon.

Clunker:
So far this morning: removed seat, tank, side panels. Removed plugs, tried starter and engine turned over without load, tried starter a couple more times and it turned over and slipped again. Removed battery and put it on charge, removed starter, the on the starter motor is showing signs of wear, the starter cog in the engine looks good with no missing teeth. Took pictures so that I could enlarge them, you get to see more detail than with just eyes alone. Next step, replace Nighthawk starter with CB650C starter and see what happens. One final point, Nighthawk starter motor came out way too easy, looks like the O ring is shot as signs of long time oil leak, possible starter motor wobbling about due to O ring wear???

Clunker:
Cog inside seems good.

mike the bike:
What's it like with the spare starter motor?

Clunker:
Hi Mike.........splutter, fart, bang, pop.....ROAR!!!!! ;D According to PO she's not been started for a while, I let her warm up a bit then switched her off, started her again but it still slipped a bit, as soon as it catches she fires up on all four straight away.
