OK, her's the deal, my brother has an 09 VTX1300 he hardly rides w/8k miles on it. He said when he goes to start it, it grinds and growls a bit with no start. Currently the bike is stuck in is hanger next to his plane. He is in the Dallas area and is in the middle of retiring/moving just as I am. I told him to fix it himself but guess he's a bit stressed for time and doesn't want it to sit. Funny, he has no problem working on his bird. So, he said he is going to bring it down the San Angelo to me to work on and said he would rather donate it to me than let it sit. I have every intention of fixing it and giving it back to him when I'm done. So after I've moved to San Angelo this week I guess I have a new project to work on.
Any comments on this situation, though it be early since I don't have the bike with me, would be appreciated.
Like are there any common failure modes with the VTX1300 starting systems?
Wow, soon to have three ponies in my stable.
