If you need help with a mechanical problem... Ask your question in the Rubberside section...
We will need to know a bit about your bike, and you...
Year, Miles, modifications that apply to the problem.
Your mechanical experience, and let us know if English is not your first language...
Where you are located is helpful, too...
Also,...
What was done just before the bike started acting up, including filling up with gas.

Symptoms?
Ran fine for months, now it won't start, cuts out at speed, or what?

if its a clutch problem, what oil is in it?

Four Things to do before you start to troubleshoot your bike's issues

We help a lot of new persons with a lot of issues every week.   Repeatedly, we see them tripping over the same things, very simple things really.   Things that YOU MUST DO before you even try to troubleshoot your bike.

1)   Have a full fresh trickle charge (multimeter over 12.6 volts) on a known good battery.   Not a battery tender, a no more than 2 amp normal bike style battery charger.   Why?  Tenders send right at 12.1 volts and your battery drops down to that amount overnight.  Your tests are all based on a FULL fresh charge at 12.6 volts which takes 13+ volts from the charger (which is what you get from a normal 2 amp charger).

2)  Have a fresh FULL tank of gasoline.   I know, it only makes common sense -- but you would be amazed at the people killing themselves with 1/8 tank of last summer's very stale gas and they simply can't get the bike to start .....    10% ethanol gasoline and its "age out" issues has only made this requirement more important, so drain your gas tank and refill if you think you have old or not enough gasoline in it.

3)  Have basic metric tools.  If your bike won't run you need to have a set of metric tools and a volt/ohm multimeter, minimum.   If all you have is the tool kit that came with the bike, please say so up front.

4)  You must read and understand the POSTING GUIDELINES at the top of Rubber Side Down.  Rubber Side Down isn't the chat section -- that is over in Cafe.   Next, to moderators , they are trying to help you get the best advise ........

Whats a Versy aduster?

By the way, the reason that magnet broke free like that is because the glue holding it in place melted from the starter over-heating.

If you're having a hard time getting your bike to start - don't sit there with the starter button pressed and the motor spinning for minutes on end.

Starters are only designed to be run for about 15 seconds before they need a 5 minute cool-down period. Obviously they can handle a little more abuse than that but if you managed to melt that glue - you went way over that.

Does it not matter that the Rottela triple T, containing the needed ZDDP, is made for Diesel engines?  I just bought Savage and followed recommendations here, but, I fear I may not have fully understood.  I just put Rotella triple T non synthetic in my new bike and am just looking for reassurance here.

To me these words mean the crankshaft won't rotate:
-- it won't crank
-- it won't kick over
-- it won't turn over

To me these words mean the battery and the starter will make the crankshaft rotate but the motor won't start up and commence to idle:
-- it'll crank but not start
-- it'll turn over but not fire
-- it'll spin around but it won't run
-- when I let go of the key, it stops making that starting noise and nothing happens

I can decode the meaning of those terms okay.

What riles me is when someone just says, it won't crank.  Down here you have a 3 out 4 chance of that meaning it spins over with the starter, but it won't start running.  Maybe that's what "it won't kick over" means, I dunno.

If I am trying to help someone with that level of vocabulary, I usually start asking some really simple questions, so we have a meeting of the minds as to what info is being imparted.,...
-- When you touch the starter button, does it make any noise?
-- What kind of noise does it make,.. does it just make a clicking sound like a wall switch and then stay quiet?,,...or does it make a whirring sound that stops when you let go of the key?
-- so on and so forth
