Starting issues

[Guest]

So my bike has been having issues with startup, the starter struggles to crank the engine, and sometimes it doesnt, the bike has no parasitic draw and it holds 13 volts while the bike is off
the timing is set to 17degrees advance and the plugs are not fouled, once the bike is on it runs amazing

could it be the starter going out?

the bike is a gs850gl 81 with dyna s ignition

is this common? Has anybody had this problem?

A lot of people have problems starting. There is a guy that just posted the same problem.

Well is there any way to solve the problem? Or is it something im gonna have to live with?

Really depends on you.
start with the quick test (in my signature) and post the results.
