Are you certain its the starter? Triumph triples are real picky about battery condition. Warranty? How old is your bike? Miles?

i did, -- or rather it was a part inside the starter...
i actually got the jot of push starting my bike in front of a major bike hang out in carmel valley... had two kids to help push. (gave 'em $10 bucks tho', what the heck)
the fix was under warranty, (which ends in october this year. yay...) and i don't recall how much it would have been.
it made really weird scratchy, skippy noises. NOT low battery indications.

ok cool.
i will have to double check if shes under warranty...
its an 05' with 20,000 kms on the clock.
battery is fine. at first it would take 5-6 times to start on occasion.
but the last couple of weeks its started to make awful snatching noises...
amber ill give you a call next week. ive been hell busy writing a thesis that is due on friday. havent had time to do anything.
i might have a few other mates that would be in on the bulk oil buy too...
mongo. :smitty:

Nuckers knackers.
Good luck on the thesis [you know it stands for "Piled Higher and Deeper"]. :drink:
Take the time to check the paperwork. It would be a major bummer to find out next week that your warrantee ran out this Friday. I'll ride it to the shop if you want. ;D ;D
I'm organising the oil soonish, no dramas.
Cheers AA

Mr Amber Ale was correct !
it is the sprag clutch......................
speedy is in at the shop getting fixed now.
waiting another week for the part to arrive, i dunno if i can bear it.
withdrawals have kicked in after a day and a half. plus ive had to cancel my w/e ride!
it would seem this is a common problem for speedys. the shop had to do another sprag last week too...
