Ok so a quick update on my friends starter on his 2018 300 2 stroke.
He bought this bike in late October and the starter is fried, the brushes are melted, the flywheel looks like the bendix is not engaging correctly and he has previously replaced the battery and the bendix cover. His dealer remapped it when new and it has the added heavy negative cable. I'm servicing his bike for a 9 hour race and I have little to no confidence that a new starter will be a lasting solution.
This set up reminds me of the KTM noise makers that almost never worked. Well they worked in ideal situations just not when the bike was cold or hot or after the warranty had expired.
Does anyone know if GASGAS stands behind this starter and is there parts available that can provide a lasting fix? If so who should I tell him to get in contact with?
