Hi All, I need some help/advice please.
my starter motor turns the engine over just fine cold but when hot it slows and sometimes even struggles to turn the engine over. I have tried a large copper earth cable from the negative on the battery to the starter case but this had little effect. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on a new/refurbed starter and still have the problem.
By the way with Mallory Park now closed I wonder where the VMCC will go next July so we can give the bikes a proper thrashing?
Many thanks
Simon

Simon, I have been told that fitting a Yamaha R6 starter clutch ,is a common and worthwhile mod to our bikes, but i dont have details.
Maybe somebody on here will have info
Also I have been told that next years festival of 1000 bikes is at Donnington , cant remember who told me though !
