When I try to start my bike it makes somewhat of a grinding noise. The noise is coming out of the little black box under the seat with the fuses in it. Any ideas of what this may be and how I can fix it?

thanks in advance

 

be sure your battery is charged

sounds like you dont have enough juice

 

I had a similar problem too. It came from where i had the fuses. wiggle it! sometimes it gets loose so when you try starting the bike its not getting enough juice. so take off the seat wiggle it while starting it up. let me know what happens!

 

same prob here. just wiggle it, check the battery connections and letter eat. i still have a prob with that it sometimes wont do anything and i have to hold the starter and jiggle the wires to get her to start. might be the same thing might not...

 

4 REAL. IT GETS LOOSE AFTER A WHILE. UR GNA HAVE TO TIGHTEN IT IF ITS THAT. IF NOT I THINK IT MIGHT BE YOUR REV LIMITER. IVE HEARD THEY GO OUT AFTER A WHILE. BUT IT SHOULD BE THAT SHT.

 

You guys all have the starter problem, it is very popular for the raptors. I had it fixed and the mechanic told me my starter was mest up.

 

ITS NOT MY STARTER. IT WAS WAY LOOSE, SO AFTER I TIGHTEN THAT NUT IT WAS FINE AND REMAINS FINE.

 

OK, then mine was a different problem.
