Thank-you for this web site; marvellous and helpful! I am repairing a friend's 86 savage. He had taken it apart, reassembled it and got scared when "it made a loud noise"! I've been repairing motorcycles for over 50 years, predominantly British , Italian ,spanish and older Japanese; this 86 Suzuki is a new bike to me! As you may have guessed, I am having trouble with the device known as the electric starter! Upon your recommendations, I upgraded the system by fitting a starter limiter gear; I modified the original outer case cover to suit. I also set up the starter decompression solinoid according to your recommendations. Upon reassembly, the bike started right up. Now, it does not. Upon pushing the starter button, the decompression solinoid clicks, I can see the exhaust valve rocker arm go down with the valve cover off. With a fully charged battery, the engine will only turn one revolution, it will not spin the 500 rpm suggested. I have tried boosting the battery; no change in starter performance. Do these starter motors get weak? Yes, the connections are tight! The bike has less than 10000 miles on it and is completely original.
