#90397 jkreylin (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 19 Starter kicking out on shut down 6 Months ago   After a ride and when I turn the bike off, it sounds as if the starter is engaging or disengaging. Kind of sounds like it is being kicked out or spun off of something. Is the roadstar like a car in that is has the gear that engages and disengages the starter gear? It almost sounds as if the gear is staying out and when it turns off it is spinning loose. Bike only has 750 miles on it and it is an 07 Roadstar.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #90398 bushrjackson (User) she's pretty EH?

Very normal...   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/06/02 21:04 By Pop Rivet.   2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #90410 Clifford (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 501 Re:Starter kicking out on shut down 6 Months ago   The starter is never disengaged! In the starter drive there is a "clutch". This clutch is a ratchet-like mechanism; the starter turns the engine but the engine doesn't turn the starter. Sometimes when you shut down a piston that didn't quite go over the top bounces back from a compression stroke. It is this momentaty backwards motion that makes the starter clutch give the starter a little spin. This is normal.

Good to know it is normal. I just upgraded to a Road Star from a 1100 VStar Custom. Bike is very different that the VStar in many ways and just trying to get to know the bike better.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #90444 roadhog1 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 208 Re:Starter kicking out on shut down 6 Months ago   My 06 has done it on occasion. I found if i let it idle for a couple minutes before I shut it off it dont do it. roadhog1   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #90455 HoustonCH73 (User) fists to the wind... Expert Boarder Posts: 517 Re:Starter kicking out on shut down 6 Months ago   I was wondering the same thing. only happens on occasion and from what I can tell no rhyme or reason. Looks like Clifford gave a good explanation.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #90496 Moondog (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 336 Re:Starter kicking out on shut down 6 Months ago   Thanks I too was wondering about that .
