UPDATE:

So I went riding the other day.
1. 50 mile ride to destination
2. Bike sits for 30 minutes, immediately starts
3. Go 500 feet to bank #1
4. Bike sits for 5 minutes, immediately starts
5. Go 1 mile to bank #2
6. Bike sits for 5 minutes, slow crank, battery seems dead, wont start
7. Roll bike down hill and drop into gear, starts immediately

I went straight home. Then kept testing the starter after I got home, to repeat the condition, couldn't get it to happen again...

With this, is it for sure the Starter Damper? Starter Clutch? The Battery?

 

I second that, it doesn't sound like the video, just like the battery is almost dead. I guess with my initial incident, it did start right up the next morning.

Do we just have to throw money at it? I lost my JOB last summer, I need this bike to SAVE money over the summer =(

 

I think you have a busted wire. Where the insulation is not broken threw. But the wire inside is busted or corroded

 

Was moving wires around and checking for resistance, however this is not a very good test cause one single strand will show continuity.

I just ordered a start relay, maybe its corroded inside? I will try it and see what happens...

 

Check the earth on your frame where ever you have one, especially on the ignition circuit. Maybe corroded or loose.
Starter relay also a good idea...................

 

Crap, I never followed up:

I installed a new Motobatt AGM SLA battery, works wonders no more issues. So I changed the RR and put an upgraded battery in.....

 

Well done on the up-date Hawkman! Even if it is a couple of years late


Good to know the Motobatt battery worked it's magic. These old girls do need a good jolt of juice to fire them up.

 

Yep! I hate loose ends.

 

Gee whirlickers - I wuz wonderin' all about that !
