I started noticing the grizzly was having a hard time starting. The starter relay would whine and turning the engine over sounded a little weak. Fist I thought battery so I freshened it up on the charger. Tryed again this time the relay is buzzing and nothing is happening. Checked voltage on both sides of relay and at starter which was fine. Pulled the starter of and noticed I could barely turn the shafts and it was real gritty. Pulled it apart and there were chunks of magnet binding everything up. All but one magnet was in one piece. And everything else was destroyed.

Being 0nly a 2011 I can’t believe the starter is trashed already. Anybody else ever have this issue?
