Well, I have that cough that makes the engine die after running hard then hit city driving. This morning, due to the starter dragging and a weak battery it didn't want to immediately refire. I had a coworker come to my aide to jump the bike off. Since it took me a minute or two to get my cables hooked up, the bike sat long to refire on it's own. When I hit the starter but my coworker says, "what a minute, I'm not hooked up yet." Anyway, I'm on the road again but it's time to change out my draggy starter and get a new battery. I posted a wanted in the classified, so if you have a good starter laying around I can get from you, pm me. Thanks!

that's probably what I will do, I wanted to minimize downtime, but sometime I just got to suck it up and drive on... thanks!

Come on a new battery is one of the cheaper maintenance items on a Vision.
An old girlfriend took the starter off her car with my instruction and when she took it to shop for rebuild he did it right then and there and gave her a discount. There ain't much to a starter if parts are on the shelf even less for an alternator.
