Dyna Super Glide Custom having problem in starting it seems that the starter is not engaging, having rough noise. It may takes three to four time to get it start.

 

I would start with the battery. How old is it? Get it fully charged up and then have it load tested. Check the cable connections at the battery and ground to make sure they are tight and clean.

 

Year and mileage? mine was doing the same thing. In my case it was a worn starter ring gear.

 

Initially I suspected the battery and it was replaced, bike manufacture in 2011 and mileage only 12000km. I suspect the starter and starter ring gear. I have order a new aftermarket starter with higher wattage to replace the original starter. I realized that other Dyna of the same model also facing the same problem. Will update after I replaced the starter.

 

I'd be surprised if the ring gear was done in. Mines a 2010 with just over 90K km, Original ring gear and starter are still perfectly fine.

If you are experiencing a situation where the starter engages but then seems to let go after a couple of cranks and a failed firing, and you hear what sounds like armageddon in the primary, better to look at your compensator.

A worn comp will cause what seems at first to be starter issues, when in fact its a worn compensator not "compensating" as it should.

 

What this guy said, personally I'd drain the primary fluid and check for excessive shavings. If you find quite a bit in the fluid then I would pull the primary cover and check. In my case I started in on the project thinking it was a faulty starter gear drive and ended up being the ring. Swapped it out to a 66T ring and pinion and starts like a champ every time, of course mine is a 98 super glide ( 80 c.i. Evo ) still doesn't hurt to check though.

 

Check the ring gear and gear on the starter shaft, but don't be surprised if its the starter clutch assy.

 

This. Have had both replaced and typically it's the starter clutch assembly that needs to be replaced (place that fixes starters can replace if you pull the starter). Just replaced my starter with a brand new one thanks to a lifetime warranty. 97 WG.

 

The damaged was on the starter gear, it has worn off. After replacement it works like new.

 

Great to hear!!!
