i recently purchased a used 08 trx450er and about the first week it was fine but lately when trying to start it, it's giving me fits. when push the igntion button most of the time all im gettin is the whinning sound of the starter turning and the engine isnt even turning over, after about a min. or two of rocking back and forth the bike will finally start to hit. anyone have any idea of what this could be?

I would say its the starter gears...It could be the valves need shimmed but from what you describe it sounds like the starter...They arent cheap either..I havent had any problems out of my 08 SE yet...Starter always starts strong...Being you bought it used some people do not take care of stuff so go figure...

sounds like the starter to me...

Just wanted to jump in on this thread and jack it. Was riding yesterday at the badlands and about twenty minutes befor the place closed my starter went out on me too~! I stopped for a small break on the trail, went to press the start button and heard weeee. Starter turns but doesnt turn bike over. ReaLLY sux becase this is the best time to ride where I live, RIGHT AFTER THEY CUT THE CROPS~! I am currently trying to find the things I need to get her up and running as soon as possible~! I guess I need to tear her down tonight...........

same thing happened on my 06 less than a year after i got it. (i bought it new though) The starter was fine, but one of the gears was toast. It was replaced and has worked in perfect Honda form ever since. Since there are quite a few gears and a starter clutch in there...it might be cheap if its a gear...but could be a little pricey if its the starter clutch. The starter itself should be good if it is spinning and giving the dreaded "weeeeeeeeee" sound.
sorry to hear that though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) --------------------  "You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun." ~Al Capone |

It might not be the starter it could be the coil as well, you could have a weak coil that isnt getting enough spark and there could of been a little moisture by the coil wires that could be causing this. But most likely its the starter or starting gear. Wish you luck! -------------------- I have an 07 TRX450er Special Edition Black plastics with powder coated red frame with flame graphics.

Just wanted to chime in again. THESE STARTERS ARE JUNK~! Mine decided to start working again! It went out on Wednesday, I tried it thursday morning and friday morning and got nothing. Tried it Sat. morning on my way out the door and it fired right up, loaded it up in my truck right then and there took it to work, and went riding that night after work.
I had an awesome ride, most of the bean fields and corn are down or are coming down! We rode for 4 hours it was awesome. THESE STARTERS SUCK~! Have a nice day. -------------------- 1999 YZ 125 ( SOLD IT ) Replaced by a Remington 870 Super Mag Black

Well the 450 officially crapped out today ... starter/ or gears have went completely out and it wont even turn over. Anybody have an idea on wat it'd cost for me to take it to the dealrership and get it fixed?

The starting gear is inside the starter.
