Bad Starter motor?
Hi all,
I have a 2021 KLX 300 and it’s been having some starting issues lately I ran some tests and I believe it’s the starter motor. I hooked it up to a battery and attempted to have the motor run. It would run and start to die or we would have to retry the connection to get it to work.
I checked the battery and it was bad at first. I bought a new one and still had the same issue. I also tested my starter relay it was showing the correct volts.
Is my starter motor bad? It sounds like it starts to loose power as it’s ran
When I would try to start my bike it makes a rapid ticking noise. I believe this is the starter relay activating. It wouldn’t turn over tho. If I jumped it with a car it/ battery it would start. Bump starting also worked.
Any suggestions on what to test next?
