But it made a big difference for me to only replace the ground and using the old battery.

Then I took the ignition cover off, cleanded everything, put a bit of fresh grease on the gears but still no improvement. My dealer has no clue and I admit I give up! When you say you replaced the starter relay what did you take instead? Another new OEM starter relay or an aftermerket product? Thx Doc |

Fellas, must?ve had a lucky day above - the starter is still dicking around.
The bike starts first kick when cold but the starter spins & spins. This must be a weak spark if starting cold on the button, no? Anyways, I reset my plug gap to the upper range of the manual - new BR8EG, 0.8mm - and the bike started cold on the stand with the choke on with a short stab of the start button. I checked the battery & it?s charging at 13.63v @ approx 3000rpm & is holding 13.43v static. Fatter spark? Dunno, but it started, so that?s a, er, start...

@Gibnut: my starter doesnt spin the engine though the voltage was always around 13 volts. It turns just a bit then blocks and makes a whining sound. Then I wait a few seconds and sometimes it turns over the engine quite well. the warmer the engine is the easier the starter turns it over... |

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. |

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?
