Eectric starter 2018?s..

I've come to the conclusion that the electric start on these is largely decorative.

I have sent a photo of my CDI with the serial to a dealer to check if it has been upgraded, but havent heard back as yet. Fingers crossed it might need an upgrade to make it work properly.

The upgrade on mine didnt change anything.

That makes me sad. I kind of like the idea of an electric leg.

Just take the time to get it sorted. Larger + and - wiring, larger ampere hour battery, and updated CDI seems to have fixed most. Of course, the dealer should be figuring it out as it is a new bike. You listening GasGas?

Yeah, not sure that this dealer I purchased from is full bottle on this. He only had 2 GP300s and the pre delivery apparently missed a few things, like fitting the chain and rear sprocket, moving the horn etc.

I've upgraded the main + cable to the start solenoid to an 8GA cable and run a heavier cable again from battery - to the bolt that holds the starter on.

No marks on the CDI indicating it has been flashed, so waiting to hear back from a new dealer who are really across these models (owner rides a GP300 competitively). Problem is to get to them I need a cut lunch, a roadmap, a water bottle and a few hours.
