Finishing Up
Reinstall the front exhaust pipe, preferably using a new exhaust gasket.
Tip: I do not recommend torquing the exhaust header-flange nuts, as the flanges on many aftermarket exhaust systems are thinner than stock, and bend easily. Just tighten moderately. Then after your first few rides, check the nuts again.
Reinstall the right-side floorboard assembly by torquing the two button-head bolts under the floorboard assembly to 35 ft-lbs.
Caution: Be sure you do not attempt to start your bike for 12 hours or more, depending on the dry-time of the red thread-lock liquid.
Now relax, knowing your starter system is much less likely to fail you when you need it most.
Ride on.

I have my '01 apart for Stator renewal and checked this out. After checking Torque on my Rotor bolt to 125lbs. four times in a row, with no variable, I'm satisfied after 72,000 miles and no " Spin " problem that it's good. It's not coming apart to simply check it out. |
Crankcase Cover Gasket
Written by TheReal309, on 11-05-2013 13:35
This is a great write up and worked great for me a few months ago, right after I bought my '03 Roadstar. This morning, I was going to help a friend do this on his '01, but when he showed up, he had the wrong gasket. In the first section of this article, it lists the correct part number for the crankcase cover gasket, but incorrectly identifies it as the generator cover gasket. My friend had ordered the gasket by name and they gave him the generator cover gasket--but that's not what you need. The correct name of the gasket is Crankcase Cover Gasket 2. When I had done this fix, I had ordered the part by number so I hadn't even realized the error. Anyway, great article--very easy to follow and definitely fixes the problem. |

Have anyone experienced the starter again after the fix in the artical? If so how do you beat? I done everything. The artical said and less than two days it happened again. This time I'll try retaining. compound but if there is any help on the subject please help |

25000 mi had the starter spin problem the other day.
Pushed to start heard noise and starter now works?
Should I do the "starter spin" repair? Stator? Have not had any problems previously.

I read this article months ago but didn't do it. Got the problem in the middle of nowhere just as I was about to board a ferry from Canada to the US. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Do it! |
Thank you thank you

Starter spin
Written by Synagris, on 05-15-2009 18:55
I have a 06 roadstar 1700 silveradon bought straight from the crate last year...The starter spins..whirls when shutting down  no matter how short of a time it's been running. This can't be right.... I asked the dealer service techs and was told that it was normal. From the looks I get when I pull up and shut it down tells me other wise, has anyone got the same issue or a clue as to what the heck is going on here.. |
You are the best
