06 500 HO
Thinking about 26 9x12 and 26 12x12 Kenda Bearclaws will they fit and perform with out any mod's

And sometimes when I turn the key to start it, it only clicks and usally after 7-8 tries
it starts only once have I had to pull start it. any Ideas on this. not a big deal
but annoying.

Any help appreciated.

 

Check that the electrical connections at the battery and solenoid are tight. If still takes several times for the starter to turn over,could be time to replace starter or clean up. Starters are cheap at DB electric.Plus is battery old,new?? As far as tire selection others can help what works best for them. OPT

 

As what OPT said. I had the same trouble on my 2010 500 and eventually took the solenoid off and cleaned it up. Never had trouble since. It is a pain to get to though unless you have child's hands. I ended up taking the rear plastics off all together.

your rear tires won't be an issue, but the 9" fronts might rub tie rod ends w/out spacers or on stock rims. some people have turn the tie rods upside down to stop the rubbing.

 

The tires will be close up front. Some guys have replaced the stock wheel studs with with longer and spaced the wheel out using a washer or two to clear from rubbing the tie rod end. You can find the longer wheel studs for about $20 for a complete set for four wheels. Your starter brushes may just be sticking. Seems to be a common problem. When mine finally started acting up like you describe, I took it apart and found that their was a little corrosion around the brushes causing them to hang up and not maintain good contact with armature as they would wear. They do not come lubed to keep moisture from doing it's dirty work. Clean up the corrosion and lube with dielectric grease and should be good as new or pick up a brush kit pretty cheap. Very easy to repair in most cases.

This is what I did and I still flip the tie rods over just for good measure.

 

Readymixer169 is right on the money with one! I had the exact same problem with my starter and yes, it was dirty stuck brushes. I ended up just replacing the starter.
