Starter starts most of the time but sometimes I turn on the ignition and just hear a click. The battery is good. Had the starter replaced. Now works fine. Paid $230 for parts and labor.

I replaced the battery spark plugs and air filter and now getting ready to replace the starter not exactly sure what it is but according to my research I'm 75% sure it's the starter. Wish me luck :)
