Grinding/ clacking noise when hitting the starter.
95 Dyna. Bought used with 5,000 miles on it. Only 7,400 miles on the mill now.
It's only happened twice, with a warm engine.
But I hit the starter button and get a grinding or clacking type noise. Hit the starter button again, she fires right up.
Anyone know what might cause this ?

@KentuckyChristian The description makes me suspect the starter clutch is on its way out.
Make sure the battery and charging system are in good working condition.

The OP`s compensator is completely different from an `09.

Battery and charging system are good ( so far). Looks like I'll be putting a starter motor on this winter.

You don`t need to replace the starter motor, just replace the starter drive clutch.
Item 21 in the illustration, still available from the dealer.
You can get them from the aftermarket, but all you will get is the clutch unit (item 37), nothing else.
