Does anyone have a 2008 xb12 starter
Mine seems to have died during winter storage

are you sure it's not the battery ?

IF it 's the starter they are rebuildable .

Just put brand new battery on it

Just clicks and pops the fuse

Oh great sounds like it’s going to be fun trying to find out why it won’t go then

Ok well

I have powered the starter direct the solenoid
Clicks but the main motor doesn’t turn

So does anyone have a starter or should I pull it and try repairing it

Remove the 3 screws from the solenoid cover, pull the plunger and clean the contactors..... don't forget to disconnect the battery earth !
Presume you've tried putting the bike in 5th and rocking the engine over ?

Hi Maz

Yes I tried the rocking thing to no joy
Tomorrow I will try what you suggest above

It’s been sitting un started since November

as said "Presume you've tried putting the bike in 5th and rocking the engine over ?"
I know it’s a bit of a pain when on compression but does the engine turn over ok ?
if it turns over ok , I have had same sort of fault on mine , and it was neutral light not working properly and not supplying a good earth to starter solenoid , pull in clutch leaver , solenoid gets a good earth now it starts ok ( note to self must change neutral light switch )

So had the back off it
Freed it up and now it turns runs

But.... my starter sounds like a bag of old bolts

If someone has a spare I will swap mine out if not I’m going to have to try and
Repair mine

Thanks for all the help Maz was spot on as always

Does anyone have a starter? Please

Whereabouts are you ?
