I recently purchased a 2007 Softail Classic: I received all the service records from the dealer (I think) and the previous owner had a screaming eagle big bore kit installed in 2008 or 2009. The bike runs great! The service records were extensive but I was a bit concerned about the starter. On occasion, I've had issues especially when warmed up to the point where it has taken me 3-5 cranks to get going and it sounds awful. Dealer tells me he recommends pressure release switches to fix the situation. He claims they are an option on the BB kit install. I don't see any record of starter replacement. Can I assume that my starter may be wearing out due to this condition and replacing it will get me another 5 years or should I expect it to wear out much sooner? I've read about the different types of switches I just want to know my options.
