When you take the starter to pieces look and see how the bushing fits on the little sprocket side
on its steel nose.If too worn the starter will tumble a little in its bearings and not turn right.
A kit to repair it is sometimes on eb.On the back side of my rotor the 3 screws called screw flat m6x25 long are tightened and then punched on 2 sides in a little crevice or whatever you want to call it.That is to keep them in place.Maybe a drop of Loctite would help?Haven't tried that tho.
This forum is very helpful to me and I will try to help youall if I can.Keep em running.

edited my locationHi,
Edited my location now.Thanks for the tip. I looked at a part fiche of the starter but they don't show if there is a bushing on the little sprocket side of the e-starter.If someone has his starter to pieces he can measure the nose of the starter and compare this to the bushing on the side.My bushing had so much play that it would run OK off the bike and bind up under load. I guess the things just wear out and thats it. Could someone show a pic of the sprocket side open?( e starter I mean) Thanks, oily g
Sorry all as I have been so busy getting house sold here in Aurora CO and now I am moving to Denton TX next Thursday I just not had the time to take this apart. After the move I will get to the problem and Report on what I find. I can say its allot worse when its 32F so it would seem to be a dry lube or worn parts problem.
Yes I have been riding in 32-40 F temps. Cant wait to get to Texas LOL Brad 1974 CT90
