Seams ok at this point your going to need to check while having problem.
Might check to make sure that starter relay is a 12 volt relay.

I have a new T2501705 relay on the way. Cheap and a weak point.

in the 2008 service manual it states measure voltage @2000rpm, needs to be between 14-15v (page 1.21)

It's my turn for starting issues and a HUGE Shout-out to all of the folks who provided critical information in this thread. I'm fairly confident my issue is the solenoid, but I am going to go ahead and do the 1.4 starter upgrade along with replacing the cables I got from (I believe) @Mittzy awhile back. (Of course, I have to find them.) I'm glad to see the starter price is still extremely reasonable.

Has anyone found a USA based source for the solenoid rebuild kit? I'm waiting on a response from the eBay UK supplier as, by default, they are not shipping to Arizona.

Thanks!

Hello all, received my starter today, Amazon uk £118 delivered, unbolted the mounting bracket and gears, 4 bolts, 2 long and 2 short, had to shorten the shaft with the dremel by an inch and a bit to match the triumph starter, bolted back together to the triumph bracket and straight back onto the bike. It’s a bit bigger than the original starter, I have the triumph decat pipe and there’s just enough room (2006 classic). Pressed start and it spins up like never before, I’m well impressed took about an hour.
