My '06 B1100 has an ongoing starter problem. Twice the starter has begun blowing fuses. Both times I've replaced the starter with a different starter and the problem went away. The first time I replaced the original starter (Valeo #1) with a new Valeo (Valeo #2). The second time I replaced Valeo #2 with Valeo #1, and now Valeo #1 was working fine. A few months pass and now at random times when I press the started button, the starter engages and then stops. Usually it only takes a second press of the starter button for the starter to work normally. Needless to say, I am simply waiting for the starter to begin blowing fuses like it did before.
I'm stumped. What could cause these starters to work normally, then begin blowing fuses, but again work normally at a later date? Why is the current starter (Valeo #1) again acting up, only now just failing to engage sporadically?
