Agreed. I've broken two starter housings and they prob get twisted a bit when they start cracking.check the housing for cracks. Mine made the bang just a couple times and the housing was cracked. There's quite a bit I=on info on starters on here/
I don't think he has that option on his 06' if its the same as my 07', the ring gear its part of the clutch basketI flipped my ring gear around when mine stared acting up. No problems since. Jmo.
Agreed there is no better chance of you aligning it correctly do first than neutral than when you turn it off.
I bet that's what its doing. Made a big difference for me.You think this maneuver aligns the teeth or??
I rev it up a little to assist to get it into neutral.Join the club.... I'd try the neutral/first thing IF I could get neutral....
Exactly how I work all my bikes Kevin. Glad to hear I'm not fully nuts yet.I always shut bike off in neutral leave it in gear when parked and back to neutral before starting
Shouldn't have any issues with engine off finding neutral. If that's the case there's an adjustment that you need to makeI never leave it in gear. Impossible to get it back into neutral. Plus if I'm worried about it rolling, that's what the big granite curbs are for. Everyone has there way of doing it. I'm not a fan of the starter banging.
I learned about this from one of the techs at S&S back when I first got my chopper. Mine goes into neutral every time by giving it a bump in RPMs, then lift up on the shifter. Then click it back into first, and do it one more time. No banging after doing that.
No problem finding neutral with the engine off on both the dog and Harley but impossible when running unless rolling up to a stop. I wonder if it's a linkage adjustment or a trans adjustment. I've never messed with trans except to pull them out or put them in...Shouldn't have any issues with engine off finding neutral. If that's the case there's an adjustment that you need to make

X2, however I replaced a chewed up starter ring and clutch basket at the same time also, can you say paching pachingI haven't had the starter bang since installing my DOC's ESC then it happened twice last weekend.
I rebuilt the mechanical side of it but had my friend do the electrical side. The jackshaft isnt hard to replace at all and only requires standard hand tools. You can get the jackshaft from a car starter or alternator shop. I had them rebuild mine a couple times and I was able to get the jackshaft number and ordered my own.Is the occasional bang heard from the starter caused by starter bendex wear and corrected by purchasing a starter or has anyone personally rebuilt one? Does this eventually knock a tooth off of the ring gear?
When you try to put the bike into neutral you go from a gear into neutral so you would have the clutch pulled in so how could it be dragging? ? I don't understand what you mean.... I can get neutral right before stopping but once stopped it's all over.five bikes, can find neutral on all except bigdog. when running.
the throw from first to second is too short for my old aged foot.
not a problem , I always find neutral just before coming to a stop.
I know it is because of the clutch dragging a little but not worth the time to try to fix it
