Guess when I posted this originally, it was wishful thinking. I think we finally got it right. Norton sent me a new starter. So THAT'S what a good starter sounds like? Beautiful. I knew for 2 years my starter was crap. A loud "whack" or a slip is not a good thing. This new one, press the button and "brooooom", smooth as silk. Not a mechanical sound at all. AND........NO EFFING OIL LEAKS. Bet it was the starter the whole time. Well, they practically rebuilt my bike, so who's complaining? Thank you Stephen Green. I may finally be out of your hair. You have been most helpful and concerned, a real gentleman on the phone. I'm back in love with my Sport. Thank you Gold Coast, had the work done in 1 day. Customer service has gone from gut wrenching to stellar. I've been wracking up the mileage, smiling every inch of the way.
