I own a 1989 gl1500 that i"m going to have to do a starter R&R on. I've owned this bike since 1999, was riding it till three years ago, then the starter failed.
Appreciate the video!!

Anytime, thank you very much for watching! Hope all goes well!!

[@curttabor2827]

thank you for the vid , I have a 95 and my starter started to click , i may have to remove mine and this helped

[@curttabor2827]

now going to check my solenoid

[@octanerestorations]

@@curttabor2827 I would check that first, best of luck!

[@octanerestorations]

Might check your battery voltage as well

[@bennybaker6546]

I would have ended up throwing my tools across the shop trying to get that out!

[@octanerestorations]

It definitely was not fun, would not recommend! But I finally got it 🤣

[@stevenfox7378]

I felt your pain not easy at all and well done.

[@octanerestorations]

Thank you very much Steven!

I hope I don't run into those problems for a long, long time.

[@octanerestorations]

I would not wish these problems on anyone!

Thanks for your vidéo, I have to dismantle my starter motor also, what a hassle! I was able to remove 2 bolts, I can't see the 3rd
According to the video it would be +/- down.. I'll watch it tomorrow then, because right now I just feel like scrapping the bike..
Normally when powering the motor directly from the battery it should spin, mine doesn't. So, I think it's unfortunately the starter that no longer works.

[@octanerestorations]

The next video I posted about it showed how i fixed my starter not working! Now it works great! It really is a pain in the butt to remove

[@keithmcpherson4001]

I think I just bought it's twin?

[@octanerestorations]

Hopefully these problems don't run in its family! 😂
