The famous starter click

[dandiego]

It’s true that 9 times out of 10 it’s a bad battery or loose/dirty contacts.

Ask me how I know...

Today my starter would click but the engine wouldn't turn over. I'm guessing my starter switch on the end of the solenoid is going bad. Can you get replacement parts for them or is it typical Triumph and you have to buy an entire starter ?

Fred, How did this turn out ?

Paul @Joesmoe generously sent me his spare kit in case my ordered one didn't make it in time. It hadn't did the click thing since I started the thread, but its best to stay ahead of these things. Took it apart yesterday. The contacts didn't look to bad, I could have probably just cleaned them up. I did save them for an emergency. I was asked to do a tutorial on the change out and completely forgot . It rained yesterday, which screwed up my plans for the day so I just found something to do indoors. Didn't remember "lunch time learning" till I was back in the house

Yer a funny guy Battery is only two years old. Pretty sure it's the starter switch. If I click it a couple times it spins over at normal speed. Warp had a link to a place that sold repair parts, but the link doesn't work anymore

you bought off the guy on craigslist two years ago but he had it in his bike for four years so it is SIX yrs old

Fred, just wondering if the kit cleared up your issue. I am having the same problem.
