All this starter talk makes me want ask if my starter is weak or
my bike somehow too difficult to crank.
I rewired my bike several years ago and hooked the starter up to
the regulator as indicated, when I tried to start the bike the
lead wire between the regulator and the battery melted.
I have since wired the starter directly to the battery, but I
think my bike might be especially hard to turnover. Even when
jumped to the battery on my SUV (650 cca) if I press the button
on the wrong cycle it won't turn easily, just kind of grunt.
Last night I was working on the bike and using the starter
intermittently for a few minutes and I put my hand on it and it
was HOT! Hot enough to make spit dance.
Does this sound normal? I haven't been around any other
loopframes so I don't have a frame of reference, but I wonder if
something is a little off somewhere.
