I've been having starting problems for several months now but last week in the IOM it got worse.
When I press the starter button the engine feels as if it has turned once. If I press the starter button again it normally starts.
Whilst in the IOM it took 6, 7 presses of the button to start.
Once started the bike bikes runs fine.
I looked in to the problem several months ago and bought a new battery as I thought this was the problem. Since then then have added a new starter relay.
When I press the starter button I can sometimes hear a wining sound plus a metallic vibration whidh is comming from the flywheel area.
This has lead me to believe the starter is not working properly.

Sprag clutch most likely not starter motor itself.

[Scotty]

umm what Darren said , the wining will be the starter motor spinning, the metallic vibration (bad ) will be the sprag - drop the oil and whip jhe caseing off and have a look

[Blah blah]

Poor battery condition will kill the sprag bearing, ending up with the starter spinning but the engine not spinning.

This is the problem I had with my old 900, and I ended up with a new sprag bearing, flywheel, starter and battery It also took Ducati Coventry 3 goes to get the correct flywheel and each time the price went up :thumbsdown: (and then having fixed it, I promptly sold it...)

From memory I got the new starter from electrex world and it was a straight swap http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/SM9162.html

Gulp - Sprag clutch, never heard of one!

Just checked my Haynes manual and there is a section on how to remove this and check.
Looks like the bike is going to be taken of the road a little earlier this year.:grump:

It's not difficult, but you will need to get the fly wheel nut off - I bought a 12v impact driver. Feel free to pm me if you want to have a chat about it.

And correct flywheel locking tool for when you torque it back up.
People will say you can use ' a softer metal ' penny between starter gear to jam it up. Or a clutch holding tool to hold things steady, but while you may ' get away' with doing either of these, i wouldn't personally.

[Scotty]

umm if i get hold of the correct tools ( im thinking about it) i will be able to sell you a used sprag clutch
