Starter Motor Loud Knocking...
R1200GS 07 65.000 miles
Can Anyone Help?
When I try and start the bike (push start button) I get a very loud bang and knocking noise coming from the starter motor area. The banging noise goes as soon as the engine starts running. (bike runs fine) I have taken the starter motor out and have checked the Fly wheel gear plate inside all the way round. (by putting 6th gear and turning the back wheel all the way round)
There are no signs of the fly wheel plate being bent, loose or any teeth worn.
I replaced the old starter motor with a new one, after a piece eventually broke off when starting the bike too many times with the kocking.
The new starter motor is making the same loud banging noise. I am reluctant to keep turning it over just in case this one breaks as well.
Photos attached.
Thank you in advance.
