    Mine does... I park outside though. Sometimes I can just pull on it hard enough to release it but other times that's not enough.

    :rofl:

    I'm on my original starter, never been touched. 275k miles.

    I stop and leave it in gear all the time, lots of starting and stopping on the trail, and I use the clutch start cancel most of the time in low range to use the starter to get moving and get up obstacles when I stall.

    I watched @Reh5108 get up an obstacle solely with the starter motor for like 15 seconds straight.

    I wouldn't be concerned.
