    Starter Clutch?

    Different sound than this one. I have compression on everything. Wouldn’t this mean my camshafts are turning?

    I can turn the wheel in neutral. The engine turns quite easily with similar resistance to when I did the valve shims a few months ago. Still a...

    I’ll check the start motor tomorrow, but the fact that the bike kept starting even after the start button was releasing was unusual.
