    Hey guys, quick question for you. Ever since I bought my 550 it has had a delay with the starter button. I replaced the starter solenoid to try and fix it but it still has the problem. When I push the starter button sometimes it will turn right over, sometimes it will wait 10 seconds before turning over, and sometimes it will not turn over at all. Is it a wiring problem or is there something else it could be? Thanks guys.

    New problem, it just had the starter stick on until the battery finally died. I turned off the run switch, turned off the key, pulled all the fuses and still kept turning over.

    There's been a few posts recently where a connector in the headlight bucket fuses together and makes everything live. Maybe check that out.
