That is the problem, good mechanics are a rare breed these days. Guess there is a difference between tech and mechanic?! Anyway, good thing these bikes are relatively simple, but can be frustrating for many. You're right though, just tossing parts blindly isn't the best solution. Annoying when the consumer has to figure out r&d or finish what isn't.

I doubt global changes ... The run is 20 hours and there have already been cases when the starter was idling on a hot motorcycle. It also did not start at +2 Celsius, but then I think the problem is in the battery.

Here's a new one for electrically minded Gasser riders out there.
So I have upgraded my starter system by doing the wet mod & installing larger cables including a dedicated earth cable however I am still having intermittent start issues where the starter works & then goes totally lifeless. I have installed new starter button & soldered its wires directly to the wires at the connector behind the headlight & have also replaced the starter solenoid. When this was first installed it started great however during a ride it goes dead again. I can get the starter working again by simply disconnecting the low amp cable connector from the bottom of starter solenoid & then reconnecting it. I've cleaned the connectors before & used dielectric grease on it but doesn't seem to help. Its sort of like resetting a computer by turning it off & doing a restart. Any ideas?

Ive been having issues with mine since new. Fitted a bearing to a new bendix cover and it made no difference. I fiddled around with it and made a thicker bendix cover gasket and added it to the original and it seems to work ok in the shed.
Havent had the time or inclination to go out and test it in the real world as yet. |

I see some are doing the wet mod, approximately 70cc...is this enough to warrant a vent?

Beta doesn?t run a vent at all, they only have about 25ml though. I run one cause it is easy enough to do. I have about 100ml in mine.

We wet mod a mates 15, it blew some out so we added a vent and tube run to headstock.

Good info (F5), thanks. I fitted the AS3 cover yesterday, nice piece. I will probably do the wet mod if/when that Russian made kit ever gets sent/received.
I may have missed some of the photos in the various threads, but are there any good close up photos of the ground wires near the starter and otherwise? Going to add the extra wires in the 8awg format, maybe include fuses as well. Once the Russian kit comes in, will more than likely do a 24v conversion too. Probably making alot of busy work though, when I got the bike from the seller, it started just fine in 40?F temps. Edit- I see that my CDI is one that was supposed to be sent for a re-flash, what is this and how much of a change does this make? What's the indicator if it has been done? The original owner got it winter of 19. Edit #2- would a CDI from say a 2012/13/etc fit and work for the 18+? I was on the fence about maybe an HPI or Ignitech down the line..
