    I own a 2004 vtx 1800c with 38000 miles. The start button I think is the problem, I was about to leave for work when this happened. After it wouldn't start I turned off the key in the ignition & pressed the start button then it happened, the starter was constantly trying to start without the...

    I have a 2003 vtx1800r garage kept very low mileage. Battery is overly old but still tests out at 12.7-13v and holds a charge. I have ridden the bike multiple times with no issue, normally shorter trips. Last time I tried to take a long trip I got about 20 miles from my house (give or take) and...

    When I hit the start button it will do one of the following. Start immediately with no problem. or Turn the engine over very slow to the point of my trip odometer resetting. (Battery can't supply enough voltage and lights go out) When this happens, I wait a couple of seconds and again it will...

    Long time member but first time post. Usually somebody has already posted and answered my question. I put the battery back in my VTX1800C after having it on the battery tender off and on over the winter. Turn the key and lights come on, horn works, etc. But as soon as I push the starter button...

    Over the past year, I've noticed it takes longer for the bike to turn over when holding the start button. Sometimes, it will fire, delay, then finally fire and turn over. During the delay, you can hear the engine trying to turn over until it finally does so. Is this just simple starter...

    Hello, I've got a starting problem with my '02 1800R, I need some help diagnosing. I've searched the board for starting problems and haven't found my particular situation. It could be the starter switch, selonoid, stator, or something else. Here is what happens. Kill switch in "run" mode...

    Hey guys, doing some trouble shooting. Seems my starter button picks and chooses when it wants to work. I"ll press it and nothing, then press it again and it starts. I'm thinking I might need to clean and prep the starter button, like maybe its not getting a good connection. Can anyone tell...

  13. VTX 1800 Tech Board
    So sometimes the bike would start and sometimes it would do nothing when pushing the starter. Felt like contact just wasn't being made. Did the research on this forum and followed all the directions to take the starter apart and clean the connections (a little dirty but not bad). Here's the...
