24V Electrical System ?

[farmerj]

I will add that numerous experiments by myself and others suggest that in this scenario, for whatever reason, throwing high CCAs at the problem doesn't help. Yes, often going from the wimpy stock battery to 240cca solves the problem. But beyond that, in this application there seems to be diminishing returns. We have gone directly from 800cca car batteries to the starter, and still got just a "thunk". But 24V creates spin. Just fwiw.

Interesting. The only difference I can see is that 24V would push the RPM higher and the extra speed would do a better job of camming out the bendix.

So who's going to try 36?

Or 48? LOL @ F5.

220AC directly from the plug....
Is the next thing I am going to try if the damned thing wont work after replacing everything related to starter.( last things coming these days).
And if not as I said..... 220AC and little fuel.
Nice torch it will be

Ps. With my 2015 EC 300 never had the slightest problem for almost 3 years I kept the bike with as I believed the same parts installed on the starter mechanism.

Anyone tried the new bendix cover with the needle roller bearing?

I have a spare cover which will be fitted with a BK1210 bearing this week by a mate. Bit of a bodge job but at AUD$8 not including the bendix cover which I bought ages ago, might just do the trick.
