hey all, I ride a 97 Softail, and started having starting problems a cpl monthes ago, sometimes wont turn over, just clicks, i have a manual and im about to do some tests today, just a little history- at first i thought it only happened when bike was hot (normal running temp) started to happen more frequently, not when hot anymore, so i had a HD mechanic look at it and of course when he had it it started fine, he did say starter was a "little loud" while engaging, so i went on and waited till it stuck me out to dry, bike finally started and i rode home and took starter out, had rebuilt, and reinstalled, has ran and started fine since then, (about a month) starting everyday no problems, last night it just clicked, i waited about 20 min, and finally started, i believe my problem is the solenoid, or starter relay, or connection to either, i have searched for bad conn. and not seen any, i also cannot tell if the solenoid clicks, or the relay clicks, AND how can i test for this intermittent problem, if bike starts fine right now what test says might not show problem??? Advice will surely be appreciated. TY
