If everything is properly toleranced as designed and the CDI is a nice sparky one then the stock battery should be fine, like on your bike. Thanks for the reminder that some work just fine.

But the factory has recommended the 240 CCA antigravity as part of the solution for those of us that are having trouble. Fingers crossed mine keeps starting with the new antigravity .......

The only things I have done differently from stock is add a earth strap, bigger leads as I had a heap left over from work and the wet mod. But it started from cold from the get go. I only did the wet mod so I don?t have to bother lubricating the bendix every 5th ride. And the leads were done because the stock ones were a bit of a joke.

I agree with the lack of friction. It is not a complicated system so hopefully everyone can get a working button.
