Here's an odd starting situation for which i seek the counsel of the forum.
2009 G5 started fine this morning, and then again at first stop. At second stop i turned engine over a couple time with kick starter (for no good reason, just because it's there...). Then when i hit the starter button the starter didn't engage - starter just spun. Tried kick starting but to no avail. Tried pushing it and jump starting to no avail. Starter still spun without engaging. Tied bike to friends truck, she pulled me down the road and it finally started and then ran fine. When i got home i shut it off and then tried the starter again just for the heck of it and starter engaged and bike started right up. Sooo, what's up with that? By turning engine over with kick starter did i get something out of sync? Then after it started and ran for a while did it get back in sync? Is this a sign that something is wrong with starter? Any and all advice welcome! Al,
