I recently purchased a slightly used HD5 and having an intermittent issue with the starter. When trying to start, the starter engages then immediately disengages. It acts like a failing bendix. I replaced the starter with an aftermarket unit and still had the problem so I took it to my dealer and they replaced that starter with a factory unit. I got it home and a couple of days later the same issue again. I returned to the dealer and they replaced the starter yet again. Unfortunately, still having the same issue and not keen on going back to the dealer. Eventually I can get it started but not before major frustration sets in :(. Any input from others would be very much appreciated.
