this just started happening last week. It is weird. I'll push the starter button and can hear the starter motor spinning, but the bike wont fire up. on one occassion, I pushed the bike forward an inch or so and the bike fired up. However,on a separate occasion, I tried doing the same thing when the bike wouldnt fire up, and no joy, but a few minutes later, and I dont think I did anything, I desparately pushed in the starter button and the bike fired right up. Wtf. Since then, the bike'll exude the same symptom now and again and I'll hump the seat, jostle wheels, and pray to the monkey goddess, all with mixed results. What do y'all think is going on? I did rebuild the starter several months ago, but hadnt seen this issue once in what has to be at least 1000 attempts. I'm thinking of popping off the side cover to make sure there isnt a stripped gear, but wanted to see what you guys thought, because securing a leak-free seal is such a bitch and I finally have it on leak-free.
