Anyone else in Australia source their upgraded cables through the dealer/distribuer networks? Or just went and picked some up off your own back?
I've made my own, I should have sent some cable up with the master cylinder!! I have metres of the stuff. I prefer to crimp and solder. Not many manufacturers do though.

And this comes at the peak of riding season. I think gas gas should send the proper fix!!! Has anyone else have had to deal with this issue??
It is certainly unfortunate that you're having some issues.. My '18 has been perfect from day 1. Always starts every time from dead cold or hot. I've yet to use the kickstarter with over 1500km's on it..

However, The recommended repair by your dealer should fix the issue. The new GasGas/Torrot company has been fantastic about facing issues head on. And they've released a tech bulliten and an ECU reflash for this problem that has fixed the issue for everyone I've heard of having it.
Simply replace the battery cables as per supplied by GasGas and send your ECU for a reflash and you should be good to go. They had my ECU reflashed and back in my hands within the week when I sent it to them. It's admirable that GasGas is facing this small glitch head on instead of ignoring it or pretending it hasn't happened like so many other companies have done with similar problems.

I've commented on the facesook site about the 2019 model featuring a new electric leg and asked if it is still decorative like the 2018 model is.

Im about to replace the solenoid as the same model is used on about a thousand yamahas.

I'm going the route of replacing them myself. Last warranty issue the bike was in for almost 8weeks. I'm reluctant to take it back to get the thicker cables when it's something I can do myself.. Tried speaking to the dealer about it but very hard to get calls returned.. I was under the impression that all 2018 models in Australia had the 2019 tune in the cdi. If so then its not the answer as mine still spins but will not start the engine. First kick of the kick starter however sees it start straight away.

Good job being a ass about it then..

You know the vast majority of riders have had no problem with their E-starts right? and those that did had their problems disappear with new cables and a reflash.. Why not post a comment on their facebook site commending them for dealing with the problem head on and taking some initiative.

Let us know how it goes replacing the cables.

I'm closing this thread.
This issue has been rehashed several times.
And, the fixes well documented.

Thank you
gasgasman.
