    Hi everyone, I have been riding regularly since I got the bike since it’s my only vehicle and I use it nearly daily for my commutes. My starter switch had been working on and off for months, sometimes starting the bike after a few pushes and sometimes not. I figured could be low battery so I...

    I want to 3D print a custom starter button and kill switch on my '04 1300s. Can the switch assembly be taken apart far enough to remove the stock red kill switch and black starter button?

    Hey all -- Just installed a new OEM starter relay solenoid, turned the key, instrument panel lit up strong. Hit the kill switch, injectors engaged strong. Pushed the ignition button, got half a crank, then everything went dead. Did I blow a fuse? While installing the solenoid, I did arc from...

    I recently noticed that my starter seems sluggish. I hit the starter button and it sort of "bogs down" before it kicks in and starts the bike. I just installed a new battery and expected a faster start. So, is my starter going bad? Thanks for any replies. :patriot:

    Greetings! I rode my '09 VTX 1300 all weekend with no problems at all. When I came out of the restaurant after having dinner I went to start her up but the starter wouldn't crank at all. Kill switch was on, bike was in neutral, etc. The lights were on and the horn worked. I then pushed the...

    Hi all... I have an issue here I hope someone has an idea about. I thought this was a battery problem as the bike does have a few years and over 24000 miles, but the new battery apparently wasnt the fix needed. This happens at various times.. no rhyme or reason. Press the start switch and...
