Author Message   Reducati Posted on Monday, July 17, 2023 - 01:59 pm:        i have a 98 SW1, 11k on the clock...when i start the bike cold, it cranks fine, but, if for example, i refuel, and restart i get a weird grinding noise, and sometimes a spark/smoke from solenoid/ starter area, but it still cranks, and starts. after looking through the search function, it seems it might be the solenoid. ( all wiring is clean/ grounds are good) Should i try the solenoid rebuild kit first? and is it the same as any evolution sportster? any buddy have a part number? thanks guys in advance!   Piercethekiki Posted on Monday, July 17, 2023 - 06:30 pm:        I once had this issue on my X1. There is a tiny wire that connects to the solenoid, make sure it is on there securely. Mine was a bit loose once and caused some smokey, clicky starts. If thats not the issue, could be the ignition going bad. That one sucks. I can source a part number if you need   Two_seasons Posted on Monday, July 17, 2023 - 08:35 pm:        Check ALL your grounds too. Snug up battery terminals as well, 10mm.
