OK so my starter is crap and I need to replace it... Can anyone tell me is this a hard part to replace and is there any pointers you can share to make the removal and install a little easier? Thanks

Have not done it on one of these yet but can't imagine it any different from other V-twins. Drop the cable, remove the mounting bolts, slide it out, slide the new one in lining up the splines and with some lube on the O-ring, install the bolts and cable..that's about it.

I have both mounting bolts loose.. It's wiggling but I have to take a break my hands are cramped for the dumb angle to get at the damn thing lol... If I removed the air intake black tube that would probably help.

disconnect the battery negative terminal if you didn't already. not fun arcing out the positive battery cable on every piece of metal around.

Cool... yep disconnected battery, removed 2 mounting bolts, wiggled and used a pry bar to help with getting the o ring to let go, very simple thanks for the replies! I just ordered the new one it should be here Friday... Now I have to tackle replacing the CVT belt with the Gates one I bought, Gotta make sure this things 100% going to WV Hatfield McCoy's again in July Can't wait!
