Rocket Three Triumph 2008 doesn't always crank when press start button. Please send possible causes.

Starter motor is okay, leads are okay, battery is okay. What else could be the problem.

You may have corrosion inside your battery cables or a loose connection somewhere.

If you have a voltmeter connect one lead to the POSITIVE post of the battery and the other to the POSITIVE post on your starter while you have a friend crank the engine
WATCH YOUR HANDS!

This is called a voltage drop test and you should see less than 0.5v on the multimeter while you are trying to start it, if you have high resistance (corrosion bad connections) you will see a higher voltage. 0.5v is the MAX you should see.

Do the same test on the ground side of the circuit, connect to the NEGATIVE battery terminal and the starter case, your voltage reading should be 0.1v or less

SOURCE: starter not always turning motor

Possible solution. You probably know that harleys, unlike almost all the others used a bendix type to shove the starter motor's gears into engagement with the starter clutch. Since you replace the solenoid, the thing that pushes the gears into engagement; the battery, that would push the starter motor if the gears were in engaagement; and the starter motor, which would turn the ring gear if it was in engagement. So wht's left? Unfortunately it sound like it might be the teeth on either the ring gear or the bendix gear, probably the ring gear as it was notoriously weak on iron sportys. Not a problem you want to try to fix at home unless blessed with tools, room and time.

If the problem occurs after the car has been driven long enough to reach normal operating temperature, the problem is the starter. If the 'no crank' occurs cold, retest the battery.

On a 2009 Triumph America won't start with good battery. Disconnected single wire from Starter when start button pressed get battery voltage to wire. When connected just click. Do I replace the wh

Hey MArk,
Reinstall your starter...when trying to start your bike, voltage means almost nothing! - The "quality" of a battery is determined by the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps).. amperage is what makes your bike start...and you need at least 13.5 volts to run the lights, etc..
O'Reilly's, AutoZone, etc.. can test your battery..
..When you get a new battery...you need to check the charging system.. crank it up..let it get warm..then put a multimeter to it..Red to + terminal and black to - terminal ...you should get 13.5+ volts DC to the battery at 3500 rpm..

Triumph Rocket 3 has stalled. No power to headlights. Do have power to horn and turn indicators. All fuses are ok. Have checked and charged battery. With ignition key in on position there is still no power...

Well if nothing is working I would think it was the ground wire from the battery to the body. Because the horn and lights don't need the ignition switch on to work. Remember when jump starting a car you always hook the ground cable of the dead battery to the body of the car and not the negative side of the battery. Because if the ground wire isnt correctly connected from your body car frame to the battery it could blow up in your face. So remember that if your trying to jump start the car.My guess without looking at it is ground related... Hope this helps

Hi, I just brought a 2008 Triumph America, I've taken it on a few short runs, no problem. Yesterday I took it out did 45 miles to work stopped, went out got some lunch couple miles, great no problems. went...

The side stand kill switch may be out of position, Starter button wire has come disconnected somewhere along the way? Is there power from the button to the solenoid when the button is pressed. If so, get a new solenoid. If not, trace the wire back to the button and find where it has come disconnected.
