My bike has all the updates other than a flywheel including a new starter. It still would not start on the button last fall until the motor was hot. Mind you it was 0 degrees C out side or colder. After a 4 month break I removed the right side number plate and noticed some white caulking on the fuse block connections. I dis-assembled and cleaned everything up and reassembled those connections with dielectric grease. Rolled it out in the drive way and it fired up with the button after all that sitting with no charging. Rode on Sunday and it was starting in gear and while out riding no problems at all. Had to kick it when I rolled it off the truck but the battery was cold from the hour drive at 2 degrees C. Time will tell I guess.
