Every time i try to start my bike i hit the starter and theres almost a one second pause before anything happens. Maybe its a weak battery because i can imagine its no easy task to get this large engine to turn over. Any thoughts?

either a weak/dying battery or a bad connection. make sure both cables are tight to the battery.

Sounds like a bad ground, like Phelan said. If the connections are tight I wound replace the starter relay.

Mine was like that and I finally had to get a starter. Wow it cranks just fine now. I got a rebuilt for about 100.

Oh and I did go thru all the connections first and pulled the solenoid for a look.

This happened to me.

I replaced one of the simple relays and it fixed it.

$10 and I lived with that for years before I found it.
