My starter has been giving me fits all winter.
Put a new solenoid on seemed to work. But it did not.
Put sea foam in the oil and rode it 100 miles and changed filter and oil while warm.
The starter was rebuilt by an alternator shop 2 yrs ago.
The starter just spins. Will not turn the engine.
Any ideas how to get the clutch to engage on the starter??
I want to ride but the bike don't wanna go.
Any ideas??

Re: GL1100 Starter
back in the olden days, I put clothes pins in the clutch on my Cushman scooter.
shoved it hard as hell, jumped on, reached back with right foot, and kicked the clothes pins out.
oh, that won't work for you
but you might be able to slip it up into 2nd gear and ride on.

Re: GL1100 Starter
What is a clothes pin? Do you have a part number for it?

Re: GL1100 Starter
I think the part number is hidden on the back side
