Video of the problem: https://youtu.be/PRoAq5yZe_Y The engine running into he background is a car. Hello, I am having a problem starting my bike. For a few months getting the engine to turn over took some work. I would hook it up to a portable battery jumper which used to work great, but now it would take some work. I usually have battery issues so I figured the battery went again. I went ahead and got a new battery and this time lithium ion, I got it in and it's voltage was floating around low 12v so I was a little hesitant. It took few attempts but then turned over. I have been charging the lithium ion but the bike still struggled to turn on. I just got to the point where the bike won't even crank anymore, I have hooked it up to a car battery to jump start it and I get the battery to read 13.7v but it still does what is happening in the video. I know this can still be the battery, does this sound like a battery issue? Other possible causes could be a bad starter or crank gear? I haven't had time to really inspect the bike until the weekend. If I bring the battery in they will need to order a new one so I would like to make sure the battery is the problem before going that route. Thanks for any help. | ||

Lithium ion batteries are very finicky! Suggest you go back to the HD battery. Long lasting and good power. | ||

sprag clutch is bad more than likely | ||

Thanks for the replies, because of them I went straight for the sprag clutch and it exploded when i popped it out. I will work on grabbing a new one and report back. Thanks!   | ||

I'm glad I don'y have that problem. I had my starter relay replaced at H-D, it worked fine for a while, now it won't crank. I bought another one from saint Paul H-D, hopefully this fixes it. Other than that, I'll have to take it to the mechanic for diagnosis/cost. It'll be getting warm here in New Mexico, next month, and it'll be time to ride. BTW, I have a 2009 1125CR. | ||

Hey guys, I finally managed to install the new sprag and sprag housing. I bought the 1190 versions and got them both new for $140 shipped. Changed the oil and charged the battery. It started right up with no hesitation. I've been riding it for 2 days now with no problems for now. Thanks for the help! | ||

I recently changed out my sprag on my 1125CR and was told that the 1190 sprag was incompatible. |
