Starter tear down. Jan 10, 2009 10:09:04 GMT -5

For some time now my starter has worked fine but made a horrible wirrrrrrrrrrr noise when used.

I decided to unbolt it and see whats going on inside. I took a few pics just in case anyone wanted to see for themselves.

Once I cleaned all the crap out it looked a bit better inside.

I gave the contacts a rubdown afterwards to improve contact.

Well there it is back together. Once I greased it up and mounted it back on my bike the nasty noise had gone.

I tried removing mine a while back and I couldn't get it off. I removed 2 bolts and tried jiggling and prying, but nothing worked so I gave up.

Yeah it took me a while to work out too.

You were right to remove the two bolts then i used a rubber mallet to tap it backwards, the rubber seal was quite stiff.

Then all you have to do is unscrew the power connection.

It looked normal to me. Whats bit are you refering to? If you mean the copper contacts then yes I used some wire wool.

marklorenzi: I just bought one of the Fleetwoods. They look like a clone of the Honda XRM's they sell overseas. It is in transit now and I should get it this week. I will try to post my experience here. Call me the guinea pig hahaha. Jun 2, 2013 20:29:11 GMT -5
