I've noticed after I ride for about 30min to hour and cut my mav off and let it set for a few min then try to start it bk up its takes it a second to turn over. Anybody else havin this problem? No extra add ons for it to do this. At the moment

Is your mav one of the early ones? I know some of them had junk starters in the beginning that would leave you stranded. I vaguely remember someone posting pictures of the starters with issues and starters without!

It's a 2013 prolly 4 weeks old. The dealer only had it a week b4 I picked it up. So who knows if it's a early 13 or not. Ha.

Have your dealer run your vin # for recalls. There is a starter recall out. My dealer said they needed to look at the starter to see if it was in the batch for the recall.

 

[heavysledz]

it's the starter….tell your dealer to look up the recalls on your Maverick….

Appreciate it fellas. Have it checked out Monday.

So I have also kinda of noticed this problem. It has never not started, but cranking amps seem low when trying to turnover after recently turning off. My dealer said that I did not have the recall, so is this normal? I am changing my clutch out right now so how would I know myself if the starter was bad. Pictures?

Mine was doing the same thing more or less.We thought it was the starter too but it was only a loose connection on the positive side of the battery.On mine when there was nothing at the switch,wouldn't turn over,there also wasn't any lights.Tightened up the positive cable and found it to be cross-threaded so it seemed tight but wasn't getting good contact.

There's the starters.The one on the right is the china one.

Sox... They don't have a recall out yet to what my deal said but did tell me there fixin try and get it out. They r warranting mine as we speak. Weighting for it to come in

Waiting*

Semi Related I guess, but I don't what it is about the dealerships failing to properly tighten battery cables but I've had about 3 buddies with new machines that had mystery ghost electrical problems that would come and go... Turned out to be the battery cables weren't tight! Such a simple thing that you take for granted the dealership did when they uncrated the thing.

Sox - give me your serial number and I will tell you if the recall applies to you or not.

Heavy....everyone was saying that its the last 4 of the vin? mine is 5035. Not sure if it true or not, but getting ready to take it apart and install STM. I will be able to tell once i pull off the console, hopefully its not shiny......

 

[heavysledz]

[Sox]

[plumdrum]

PLUM /HEAVY......looked at my starter today and if you look at the picture PLUM sent me showing the (2) different starters, I have the one on the left with the orange sticker "made in thailand". I assume this is the good one. On another note.....the reason i was able to see this is because I am installing RAGE 3. Question 1; Looking at my stock clutch they put all these blue marks from the factory on it, the infamous primary bolt has a an arrow on it pointing to another mark on the clutch. these are still lined up perfectly! I assume they did this to measure if there was slip. did I just waste $1,500 on a RAGE 3?:sad:

That's the good one ,Nippondenso.,sp,...You don't need to replace the clutch bolt if you're putting on new clutch,just use the bolt that came with the new clutch.
