Hello Guys after long time.. My bike's starter motor making a very rusty CRAAAASH noise when I hit the start button every time..sometimes the motor or the wheels in its gear set seems to be like very rusty and motor appears to struggle to rotate them...could be the wheel set or the brushes of the motor.. I am thinking of disassembling the motor and its wheel set attaching the flywheel/ engine. Has any of you ever done this? Is it tough to do by myself? Please someone give me necessary guidelines..I think I should brush off the oxides on copper/metal surfaces in motor.. Ur help greatly appreciated Am reading this but I would like yo to share what know on xv125 starters http://www.vsocxv.co.uk/workshop/virago/starter.html Thank you!
