How to remove starter switch on vt1100c shadow

http://www.hondashadow.net/forum#/topics/78839?page=1

Weak battery, starter is taking too much power and nothing left for spark. Also, you have to fill up carburetors with gas if the bike was still for a while.

once b5olts are removed gently pry back from mount surface then lift

Your starter button has probably gone bad. Go to the starter solenoid and jump the two large cables. This should power the starter motor. Then check for power through the solenoid from one post to the other. If these are good, you should open the right switch assembly clean and insect the two position switch (starter button mechanism). If it is burnt or melted replace the right switch assembly, that is the only way Honda sells it.

If the two mounting bolts on the starter are removed , the only thing holding the starter in is a sealing o-ring. If you gently pull or lever the starter with a screw driver, it will pull straight out of the crankcase.

Pull harder or gently pry with a screw driver. The only thing holding it on now is a rubber o-ring and a spline shaft. The two bolts you took off are the only thing that hold the starter in the motor.

If the same as 1985-1998 VT 1100 - you have a hydraulic valves, so NO adjusting, if Noise - valve tappets clogged, take out engine oil, use cleaning oil, start engine and run it till tapping goes away.
Then use Motul 10-40W, this one have add of cleaner in and better shifting.

your battery has a bad connection or is dead. the clicking noise is the starter relay working.
