You can have that one rebuilt (or rebuild it yourself...ask Dennis) unless you
have luck finding one from a member here...you can have it tested too, but it
really sounds as if it were on the dying side. HotrodMamma.

I'll try that first then. Too bad the starters aren't the same, I have a 2
for my 650 :P

Hi,
The first Kyle here, and my bad luck doesn't involve falling off the bike
so much as keeping it running.
My new (to me) 700S just died. I had the fun of pushing it home the last
.8 mile. I took it to walmart to get new wipers for my truck, and when I came
out I turned the key, all the lites came on as normal, pulled in the clutch and
hit the start button and nothing... No turnover, no click, nothing. The
headlight does turn off as usual when the button is depressed and the indicator
lights brighten very slightly. I tried push starting it and the motor would
kick over but not catch. After a few tries at that I pushed the button again
and vroom!!! I zipped up my jacket and hauled ass for home. I got to the
overpass just before my house and my RPMs went to zero even though I could feel
the motor dragging. I tried kicking down a few gears and releasing the clutch
to start it again but that just slowed me down. That's when I started pushing
it home...
Problem is I'm about to leave town again for the week and no time to
troubleshoot it beyond putting a meter on the battery. 12.83 volts btw.
So, is this a short somewhere or the dreaded bad starter issue? I have
noticed the starter staying engaged a bit too long for a few seconds after the
motor starts and making the chipmunk on crack sound...
