You know it starting problems

I believe it was @Mittzy who got to the real issue which is the spade terminals inside the plug to the starter relay get corroded and loosen up over time. When I installed my new super duper battery cables I removed the terminals one by one (you have to depress a little metal tongue inside the plastic part) and cleaned and re-crimp them then applied di-elecric grease. Also cleaned the spades sticking out of the relay. Hasn't done the "click" since.
 
To Jag, I haven't been on site for a few days, HOWEVER, you my friend have answered the single most important question I have had. Thank very much, I will be getting a new relay from Triumph, my man @ Therapy Garage here in Traverse City MI will be thrilled to install it. I also am going to take the starter to A.I.S. where they will go through the entire unit, including selonoidI also would like to thank everyone who has helped me, look forward to responding with good news
Thank you brother I believe that is the best plan also, having local starter rebuild shop go through it. As well as the other items discussed, told oem relay is best.
 
Another genius, thanks, all these things are going to be addressed as well install 2nddary relay and starter is assessed. Thank you again, I know me, I needed to hear what you said also

Sounds like a battery connection is loose or has a little corrosion. It's a very common issue. I always carry a 10mm just for this.

Thank you, looses cables is not an issue this time. But I do carry a handy dandy ratcheting battery tool in the left pannier.
 
@Jag what has to be done to upgrade starter. I've heard that it's an easy process, (exchange one part for another)
