I just got an ebay 410w KTM starter and re-clocked the housing. It's never started cold before but now it does. Well worth a try IMO.

Gez, thanks for asking - and the answer is Yes! I took it to my dealer 2 weeks ago fully expecting it to come back with a 24V system, but when they put a new Rieju starter in it started right up!
I had tried 2 aftermarket and one other GG starter (which had to be "re-clocked", so not the original OEM) and none of them worked. Whether other tweaks I made to the system helped I cannot say - but it was definitely the starter that made the final difference in my case. I am cautiously optimistic after two rides; I'm trying to take it easy until I get the new Rieju bendix cover with bearings. I think that will free things up some more.
Very glad that you got yours working as well!
