Swell for our touring friend here h/e I have the 07 r3 classic where do I go? I have had this problem for tooooo long have a 1.4kw starter and am starting to wonder if I should take it back. I previously took starter to a local AIS rebuild shop and have been told starter is fine. Camilla hasn't gotten near the miles she should have & I'm dying to rack them up before turning her over to the next Rocket Master. Rocking the bike does work for me also but @ 69yrs I'm tired of it & am worried that someday it isn't going to work and don't want to call the tow truck buddy to move her again. Nothing against my friend.
