I have a 90 Westy. Recently on 2 separate occasions I got in turned her on and it set off a loud grinding noise almost like a lawn mower going over pavement. It lasted for about 20 seconds and then stopped. ??? Huh?

The first occasion it was after about a 3 minute drive. The second was after about an hour on the highway.

what is it?

sounds like your starter is trying to engage the already spinning flywheel. possibly bad starter switch. if I'm right its no good for starter or flywheel, fix it ASAP.
