Ok I dont think it's the relay, I had a spare to check that. How can I check the magic button on the bars?

2018 ec300 starter stalling (engaging but fails to turn over the engine)
Title says it all. Just bought the bike. Welded Bendix, welded pinion, as3 cover by previous owner. No resistance at the starter shaft. I've been testing by hooking jumper cables from my running car directly to the starter to eliminate all cable/battery related problems.
I got two starters with the bike, neither worked, then I fried one of them. Bendix operates smoothly and engages every time. Starter spins engine really well with the sparkplug out. Bought an EBay 410w ktm starter that still hasn't been delivered. I have two questions: 1. Anything else I can check? 2. Could the flywheel gear be off center slightly causing resistance only when the Bendix engages? I looked at it and it doesn't look off center. EDIT: 3. Can the stator cover or Bendix cover have enough play to where it can cause the Bendix to bind to the flywheel gear if bolted in a position that pushes them too much towards each other? Thanks in advance. |

Only one thing I can think of: Is the bendix wedging in the cases at full extension? This means if you turn the bendix to fully open and measure the overall length, is this measurement greater than the available room?
The bendix is supposed to stop against the clip ring at full extension. If it pushes against the cases the load on the starter motor goes way up. This is based on the first generation starting system. The newer bikes may be different.

Not getting a click would be button, relay, fuse, or very dead battery. |

I rigged together a 24v system and it worked like a champ.
What this tells me is that the starter motor is just undersized for this bike. I should be getting the 410w motor Saturday. Hope that helps |

The $40 EBay 410w motor worked absolutely fantastic. I had to reverse rotation direction of the motor. It's a bit larger in diameter compared to the stock but the mounting holes etc. Are exactly the same. Works really well on the 12v battery now, starts cold just fine.

I have replaced the start button, relay, fuses & still no joy. It will sometimes work when I disconnect the low amp wires from the relay & reconnect but will usually stop working in less than an hour. This leads me to think its a problem with the low amp wires that connect with the relay & connect to a common wiring loom.
