Put my mind at ease.

I have a new to me 15 viper, I have done extensive amount of updates, but have not looked at the starter, sled starts just fine. How many sleds out there actually never had a starter motor issue??? Should I look into it for piece of mind???? Also through my research it seams that it is an exceptable practice to hold the key a bit longer to make sure engine has started without damage to starter as there is no bendix??? Is this correct, please advise... Rich

I have had 2 and ride with a few others and we have no had starter issues.

If it does not have obvious issues then you are good to go and I would not worry about it. I have had my 2014 since new with no starter issues and I always hold the key in start position a bit after it starts.
