    Thanks Harald Have to try that. So far so good after cleaning the switch but with my luck its only a temporary reprieve. There has to be something else wrong...cleaning the switch was just too easy..LOL

    Thanks Everyone. Cleaned the start switch and relay with elec. cleaner. Seemed to do the trick. I am still curious though.. about the correct troubleshooting procedure. There has to be a right way to find electrical gremlins. I did check the amps during starting. Ony @ 20 amps. So..based...

    Back on the road but had to slow down and let the ST catch up... These things make a Harley seem fast.

    A Late Spring Weekend

    I love this pic. Beautiful area. My son missed it by riding a wheelie on the R6 down thru here.. I gave him some shit about it..so you can bet he won't be doing that again... :lol: Oh well..at 19 I was much worse than him. Anybody ever heard of NJP ? I know what it is very well.. :rolleyes:

    This is Seneca Rocks. Nice area but a lot of rider traffic. Get out and about more to find the nicer roads. It is pretty here though.

    A Late Spring Weekend

    Anyhoe...this road here..highway 311..between WV and Va. is one of our favorites. There are very few homes, very few riders (on the WV side) and the twisties are perfect. We hit this area during the week for some fast, fun riding.

    Sometimes I wonder if this guy should have been the one we left out of the photos. He looks like he should be hiding under a bridge somewhere collecting tolls.

    A Late Spring Weekend

    A Late Spring Weekend

    Remember when the snow was so deep you couldn't wait to ride? (You folks in the south and west can skip this part) Even the deer were tired of this white shiet. Well...lets fast forward a few months and go on a ride thru West Virginia when its warmer. :clapping:

    Mine was doing the same thing. Pulled the plug off the relay, and the contacts were all corroded. Cleaned them with WD40, blow them off with air, greased with Dielectric grease, put the plug on and off several times, and It's been fine since. Thanks RR...I'll try this first since its easy.

    Sounds like the starter solonoid is near the battery...I'll check that first? How would I test the solonoid though? Just do the screwdriver jumper thing? Read on here to check the amp draw while turning over to determine if its the starter. Should be about 30 amps...if much higher likely a...

    Sometimes..when pushing the start button I hear the click but no start..or delayed starting. It doesn't happen all the time. Any ideas on where to start looking. Hoping its something fairly common that some here have had happen before. BTW...its an 03 with 65,000 miles. Thanks Gary
