Default Eectric starter 2018?s..

Has there come any service bulletins from Gasgas of the electric starter of 2018 models?
I have a GP 2018 as my dealer says the cdi box and flywheel has been changed from the factory (build in december) but still have problems with the starter?

I have pulled an extra grounding cable between the start and the battery but alike, but only starts a little while it wants.
So annoying that im not can trust at the starter.

Any ideas?

Mine was solved with a good proper charge of the battery, the lithiums even when low will spin the bike up ok, but not start. I also wet modded and upgraded the lead and it doesn?t even think about spinning now it has already started!

Mine is the same with the battery charge. Normal 12.3volts was fine to spin the starter but wouldn't start the engine. Charged the battery on my lithium charger which I think from memory stops charging at 14.8v. Now the bike starts everytime. Have to be very careful with charging the lithium batteries though as they don't like being over charged.. I also ran a thicker earth wire.
Regards
Josh

Ok. No its the same for me with charged battery, even tried battery from car and its the same. It will "klick" like its not enough whit power...

Its never start on the first push of the startbutton but after that it will start do and then and when it works its never i sign of low power, im wondering if the problem can be in the start button?!

Im think if the problem was the battery it will be the same every time but it doesn't..

I have not looked at a schematic wiring diagram but if there is a starter relay, it could be defective. A bad relay can make clicking sounds but if the contacts are not mating properly not enough voltage gets to the starter motor because too much voltage is lost on the bad contacts.

Try to jump across the starter solenoid and see what it does. I had all sorts of starting issues with my 2018 even after all the ground straps and stuff were done. Put a 210cca Shorai battery in it and never once has it failed to start with the button

Contact your dealer first and foremost. I know that's not what you want to hear, but i have EXTENSIVE experience with this issue. On an 18 300 EC and an 18 300 GP.
