starter noise
on the 1200 GS I bought a new starter has been fitted 100 miles ago. There is a noise in it when you turn it over like a loud scratching sound.
the people I bought it from said that it is becasue it is new and that the gear has not meshed into the ring gear on the bike. Dont want to chance it from cape town to cairo without making sure it wont let me down.. anyone ever hear of this prob before

noisy thing
Hi. This sounds a bit strange.. It should not make any scratchingnoise. But then again,strange things can happen. Take the starter of the bike and test it for any noises. Make an easy wiring from your battery, or any other battery, and run the starter. It might be the bearing inside it that makes the noise.
By the way, it do starts the engine right?? Good luck
