For a couple of years ago when I should start my 2003 FJR with the first
gear in, the start motor was stalled because the clutch was not fully
released. I had engage the clutch lever to fully.

Do always put the gear box in neutral when you should start the engine.

When the engine is started and you engage the clutch and put in the first
gear the gear box will clonk, sometimes heavy and sometimes not. The clonk
is there because the clutch is not released and has to be braked apart. The
engine is strong enough, but the start motor is not so strong so it is
stalled and make a short circuit of the battery.

I have a 2006 and occasionally when I make a short stop with the engine
fully warmed up, and I attempt to start it it sounds like the battery is low
and then it freaks the clock out like the power had been shut off.
Initially I thought it was a weak battery or not completely effective
charging system but neither of those proved to be a problem. Never have
accurately diagnosed the problem. (But on the other hand, it's alway
started.)

first week and 401 miles with the "new" bike and all smiles. On a ride in
the north georgia mountains today we stopped to check the map and when I
started it up it sounds like the starter was straining (like a weak battery)
but started right away --- after about .5 miles I noticed that the trip
meters read .5 miles and the clock showed 1:00. The headlights don't change
with rpm's and we stopped another 7 times and the issue never returned. This
is a 2005, 1300A -- anyone heard of this happening before and a idea of
where to look.

I haven't done any maintainance on the bike yet - waitng for the repair
manual (except check the tire pressure and oil level - of course) The dealer
installed a new battery last Saturday -- could it be a correded / loose
battery connection??

Any thought from TWOG....

Thanks.... Bruce B.
