Hey people,I was wondering if someone could fill me in on a starter problem i'm having? You guessed it' it sometimes is'nt catching' but as it slows down you can hear it try to engage. is there any trouble shooting i can do? Will it get worse?

it's a /84 aspencade

Yeah it will get worse. The 84 (I have a 84 aspencade in my collection) and if I'm not mistaken the engine has to come out and the rear engine cover removed to get the starter off. (late 85-87 isn't that way) It has a gear reduction built inside the starter housing and it also has a chain drive under the rear cover. The starter in mine is getting a little slow (not real bad) but I dread that job. Thats a one year only starter for that bike as well.

I have a factory service manual in the for sale section for that bike. Tells you step buy step to do the job.
