Is there a way I can verify it is the starter? If I bench test it, I know it?s going to spin since it spins when the bike is warm. So bench testing it won?t tell me anything. If I buy a new starter won?t I be replacing it with the exact same starter? Was there a batch of bad starters getting sent out on these bikes? I?m not doubting that it fixed your situation, I?m just tired of chasing this problem and spending hundreds of dollars on not fixing it. A new starter is another 200$ and I want to be sure that it will actually fix it instead of guessing some more if I?m going to spend that kind of money.
I haven?t read about any more scenarios where the starter itself was bad, but flywheels and bearings I have heard a few things about.
What exactly will GasGas cover under recall with this bike? I am out of the warranty deadline. Will they fix it since it?s a known issue?
