Remove bendix from honda varadero xl 1000

Check the following:
- Battery.
- Starter motor.
- Fuel pump control circuit.
- Fuel pump pressure.
- Wiring.
- Ignition system.
- Engine compression.

Check the ground connection on the battery and the frame. Make.sure the battery posts are clean and free from corrosion. Most likely it's the ground on the frame

It is more important that you clean the system with water or a flush and just use what you want. the TYPE is not as important.. I prefer the GREEN and convert many to the green,. The color ones are suppose to be an extended life, they are more corrosive than the Green and i hate DEXCOOL

Try removing the ignition module, usually located right under the coil pack, and having it tested at Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts.

Make sure to check the flywheel when you remove the starter there may be flywheel damage and that would cause the same problem.

it has a cowl around the bendix drive,you need to pull it away from the flywheel then back.

sounds like you have a bendix and ring gear problem, sounds like you have a starter bendix engagement and disengagement problem, drop starter and inspect the flywheel ring gear and starter drive gear (Bendix) .

Look for worn teeth on the flywheel it only will happen in one or two spots 180 degrees apart cause the motor always will stop in one two places... seen it a 1000 times...

Get bendix or honda pads. The cheap ones give trouble like squealing

Your starter bendix isnt engaging, if your replace your starter your problem should go away. The rappid ( firing ) you are hearing is the starter spinning but the bendix isnt moving out and engaging the flywheel.

could be.
that is the bendix drive of the starter. it is not disengaging.
it will burn the starter if you continue to use it with that noise.

to repair, remove starter and replace bendix drive.
