Fellow Dogs,

On a recent bike trip, the 1190 decided not to start early in the morning. The same story again today. Motor struggling to crank up. We eventually managed to get the bike jump started via jumper cables. a new battery was installed less than a week ago and did not give any problems for a number of starts after replacement.  Voltage on batt when not connected averaging 12.79V. I am aware of the starter motor being an issue on the 2013-2014 Adv models. could this be the problem?

Does anyone have a spare SM13 (1290) starter that they would consider selling?

Thanks in advance
