How do I remove my starter on my 2003 heritage classic?

The starter silinoid is connected to to starter and can't be replaced with out the starter itself when you buy a new starter it'll come with a new silinoid on it pretty expensive too

The gear is probably engaging the ring gear but it isn't turning the engine over. The "over running clutch" or "starter clutch" inside the starter is probably bad. You can replace just this part and it's cheaper than buying a new starter. But, only if you can do the work yourself. If you have to pay someone to do the job, the additional time required to disassemble and replace the clutch in starter will quickly eat up any savings you might have realized. If you're going to have to pay someone to do the work, just replace the entire starter. But, you can talk to the mechanic about this and see what the difference in price would be.

Good luck

You have to take the primary cover off and take the small bolt that holds the jackshaft to the starter out.

Good Luck

Yes, it is not that hard.

the posative wire from the soleniod had worn a hole in the insulation and was arking to the soleniod cover plate,and welded itself to the cover. i reinsulated it with shrinktube and fixed that,but with that the starter will not engage now. i'm going to attempt to rebuild the starter.

it has 3 auto-reset breakers behind the battery on the front of the rear fender where the starter relay is, no fuses unless you have heated grips, vest etc.
