2018 Batteries and Starter Doesnt work!
My bike started just fine for about a week after it was brought home. After that refuses to start with the estart. This is now going on about 3 weeks of trying to get a resolution from GG and my local dealer.
I posted on facebook about it, and the Admins deleted my post as they don't want the dirty laundry exposed. But here I sit with a bike that doesn't do what it's supposed to. A bike I just forked out about 10k dollars for. I initially contacted people privately to avoid the GG flamage that was bound to happen, but still never got a resolution. I then put a regular brand new lead acid battery out of my beta in there, and that didn't work either. Now going back a few months I talked to Jubal at a demo specifically about these bikes and the starters and he mentioned Noah never had to kick his bike. The reason for this thread is 1) to let people know that they need to check their batteries before even leaving the dealer and 2) don't expect any resolution in a timely fashion at all. I've been a long time gasgas owner, but after this fiasco I'll never buy another. I literally got called stupid because I expressed my concerns over my new bike not working. They've removed me from the GG facebook group as well since I've exposed a weakness in the bike. not happy.. and the very last GG that will ever be in my shop. |
Resolution and diagnosing should be done by your local dealer.
Have you done that? |

GasGas is not doing this correctly at all. And literally telling me I'm wrong for even mentioning it. I tried to be quite, ask my dealer about it, who then asked GG about it, but no one has an answer for me. My bike is for sale now, and i'll be shopping elsewhere from now on. |
Well this sucks. Just ordered a 250. I'm sure I can sort out a starter issue but GasGas not helping doesn't sound like a good start rebuilding a brand.

Given the age of it the local dealer should indeed be helping you out. If not that dealer than the company definitely should be.
In saying that though, things are new.. knowledge base needs to be established. Parts supply etc probably won't be on hand yet for harnesses. I'd be asking your local dealer to have a reputable auto electrician investigate at their expense if it's beyond their ability. Now just curious, but what exactly does it do? What has been tried to problem solve thus far? |

So the motor is spinning and its not starting? I know buy dumb questions. Is it getting fuel? Is there spark? Is there compression? I assume its getting air and the filter is clean?

I have had some good info from the UK about others that are having to get their stators rewound correctly. Also the US Importers and I have a conference call in the AM to discuss further actions. |
You’re able to kick it and start then?
