Graham: I am still not sure, but according to Sary's description (I wasn't with him), the bike tried to fired up really slow (like if battery was low) and then a "crack" (or so he says) and then starter seem to get completely loose.
Dennis: that is a good point. I really want to explore every single option before I do any major work. Allen: Yes, I probably saw the same video last night. I also watched from several other bikes, and many of them have it pretty accessible. Unfortunately that's not the case for the NH. Greg: I am not that worried about taking the engine apart, if anything it is something I would really like to do. The problem is that I don't have a garage, or a place to do the job. So it will be a while until I figure out how to manage this. I might end up taking it down south to Allen's :) Javier.
