so i'm having little luck finding an answer using the search function here on this. dead cold my ec400 will crank, but there seems to be something taking the battery's cca away from the starter unless i jump start it with either my truck or my battery charger/tender(the tender has a 2a maintenance and 8a charge mode). i had thought the valves to be suspect(i'd like the clearance spec's if anyone knows them since the manual i got with the bike is conveniently missing the maintenance part), but off charger/jump start source the bike cranks over really slowly and acts as if something is taking amps away from the ignition. what should i look at? on charger/tender or my truck, it cranks fast just like it should. this isn't an old carb'd jap bike so i'm a little lost. also, the kickstarter is a no go. it won't let me kick it hard enough to spin the motor fast enough
