Went to start my bike for the first time this year yesterday. First the front tire needed air,no problem. 2nd, I turn the gas on and it starts leaking from the filter. So I take the line off,check it out, put it back on,no leak. Ready to go! Tried to start it and the starter will not engage! It tries but does not. Check the battery which is always on a trickle charger,12.7v. I hear a buzzing noise coming from the starter. Only goes away when I turn the key off. Also the voltage goes down to 4v when I try to start it. Either the starter has a short or somthing else is shorting out! I was not happy!

Sounds like a shovel head.

That sucks brother!
What's the voltage at the starter? U getting 12 volts to it??
Besides my dad crying wolf saying he needs to go to the ER every 2 days for nothing....I had a nice monday lol.
It was a crazy lightening and thunder storms by me today. We don't get much rain by me so it's refreshing when it happens. We got our house appraisal today and that went well.
It was a chill slower day at work today. We opened the big roll up door and enjoyed the thunder booms!
My dad and I are switching to some new bullets for reloading. He made up the 1st batch of beta testers for me and I picked those up today when I checked on him.
