2006 streetglide with 13k on the clock. Stopped to feul Friday and upon restart I Got an aweful grinding noise but it started. From that point I was afraid to hit the start botton. Has this happened to anyone else?
Lol..I like that responce. You're right. Just say when I rode it because the bike is not mine I ride a 013 street glide with 21,000+ and a 2500 mile trip planned for the second week of sept. So I ride..
Wow. It turns out to be the teeth on the ringgear making contact with the housing. The scrapping is minimal but the sound is horrible. Now I wish I didn't have to go in to work today.

It sounds like the same issue I have .compensator gear/spring had one replaced on my 09 ele. Classic about 10000 miles ago ....doing the same thing .i was told it's an issue that has not been resolved ..keep having it fixed at $600.00 a pop ..typ hd bs. :feedback:
agree...... funny but agree. lol.
Check cold crank amps on the battery. Also check battery all together. leads, age.etc.
If the battery is weak. piston at tdc and you hit the button it could and will maje some noise. grind, ckicks, bangs. what you heard.
It could also be ring gear or jack shaft and starter gear.
check the simple and go from there.
My sportster does the same thing especially if it is a restart after a short stop, like for gas. I have gotten in the habit of bumping the starter button for a half second then start normally. Have not had a problem using this procedure for several months.
