Hi, guys, just to let you guys know that the ktm starter i got didn?t work and fried, it was working like this video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qf9r4i7cni...94816.mp4?dl=0

I give up on my starter since i dont want to spend any more money, it seems to me that the only way was to change every bit of the mechanism, gears, bendix, cover... and in the end i'm not sure that it will work...

Thanks for all the help.

So had a massive weekend on the bike. Starter now works about 70% of the time. Seems there may be a charging issue to look at now, but at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

When I replaced my starter motor, bendix cover, amd battery the first ride out my battery died about halfway through the ride. I thought I had a charging issue but was still showing 14v when running. Recharged my battery overnight and havent had a problem since. I feel like there maybe be a slight wear in period.

Hi guys, this weekend i tested my starter with a lithium battery from a friends bike, and to my surprise it worked great... I tested it with the battery from my CRF1000 and it did not work. I guess that the baterry need to have the exact amp number in order to work properly.

How do I get the gear out that?s below the starter motor? The one the starter spins. I took the C clip out. I trying to attempt motocenters starter fix by tack welding the small shaft that runs to the bendix. They say it can spin on its axis and not engage right. Which is what I think I?m having problems with.

after you take the bearing that connects to the starter motor out, you can put that shaft on vice and with a rubber hammer, hammer on the case to get it out.

After previously installing the thicker battery, starter and ground cables I think I fixed my 2018 starter by installing a more powerful 240 CCA battery yesterday. I bought the Antigravity ATZ7-8 Lithium battery that Gasgas recommends to fix the starting problems for the 2018 and 2019 250 and 300s.

The stock replacement lithium battery only had 110 or 140 CCA which did not seem to be sufficient.

I found the battery to be the final hurdle on mine too. Fingers crossed for years of starts now.

At the risk of jinxing it I still have the stock 120cca battery in mine and it starts from cold for the last two years with no issues...?

Nate I am not sure what the difference is but some bikes seem to have more friction in the starter assembly, gearing, shafts, etc and/or the CDI needs more voltage to fire the spark plug.

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 .......

Cheers Steve
