This is something you can do on the KTM 2 strokes with external starter. This tricks the CDI into producing a bigger spark, if I remember correctly.
The KTM starters would progressively slow down due to friction build up in the bendix and crown wheel. It might be worth stripping, cleaning and lubing the drive train to eliminate that possibility.

No the kill button doesn?t do anything. When the bike is cold the starter won?t even spin. It tries once and stops. When the engine is warm starting is hit and miss. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn?t. It will work if I start it immediately after killing it but if I wait even a couple minutes it has trouble starting again. I cannot start it in gear ever.
By battery voltage is 13.05 with the bike off. When it?s idling it?s about 13.35
I shut it off and instantly starting dropping. When it fell to 13.20 I tried starting and starter would not spin with the first press of the button, pressed it again and it spun but did not start.
What is everyone else?s battery voltage l?
