EC515FSR hard to start when cold
Hi all!
I have a 2009 EC515FSR which doesn't like to wake up in the morning. It takes at least a few minutes to get running, all the time starting it using the electrical starter. I keep the air filter clean, i changed the spark plug from a NGK CR9EIX to the standard CR8E, but that doesn't make a difference. Since this is a bike with injection there is AFAIK no "starter" position for the injection. Any tips or tricks to make the bike start in the morning? Thanks, Ton. |
Starting the 515 bearks the starter clutch
Hi all!
In one month i had to replace the starter clutch twice. I read on the forum that people have starting issues with the 450 and 515 mainly the '03 and '04 ones. Mine is '08 and i also have these issues. Has anyone found a DECENT solution to this problem? Modifying the decompressor works? I am desperate and put my 515 for sale again. If you look at how easy it is to kick a two-stroke. This is my fist 4-stroke and i think i made a mistake buying it. :mad: Ton. |
Hi Ton a mate of mine has the 08 450 and was having the same sort of problem.
He had the program update and has fixed the problem 99% of the time. He has also found that some times he needs to open the throttle slightly. Hope this helps |

There is software update for the ECU. I think there is a link on Gas Gas Spain website. Most dealers should be able to help with this.

Where are you located?

Barcelona, Spain.

You could almost go to the factory to get the software update.. Lol..as I said most Gas Gas dealers should be able to help you out with the update.

I would. It's only appx 100km away from where i live. Although i doubt that they will attend me...

Hey I was having this same issue. I have made a lot of progress and pretty much eliminated the problem doing the following (not to say your problem could be different but this is what worked for me:)
1. When you attempt a start, and it wants to start but doesn't, flip the on/off switch to reset the EFI. (You will hear the pump/injectors prime or whatever they are doing) then try starting again. Repeat as necessary - but I have found this makes each subsequent "start" a bit stronger . 2. I would not doink around w the throttle much . If anything just crack the throttle open a tad as it starts to engage. (I feel it sometimes needs a bit of a push). 3. Make sure you are not running lean for some reason. I happened to have been running a bit lean due to an air leak. Technically where my air leak was I am not sure it was affecting starting or not but when I sealed it up it sure didn't hurt! Hope this helps!! |
