EC 300 2018 starter problem
Good Morning,
Last Sunday the starter of my gasgas ec 300 stopped working, it worked without turning the engine. I dismounted the two covers, the bendix and the ignition to check and it was the bendix that was stuck and did not act. After lubricating everything I set everything to see if it was ok, I mount it without putting the joints and now the starter does not turn the engine. The battery has 13V is still the original battery. I give here a video of what it does now, i just orderer a new batery, should i try and make the wire mods? I need to say that my bike has 70h now that starter allways worked, not 100% but worked when i needed cold and hot. video: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aq0Qx6sqeizHgoYY_RQzuOPAHPLmEg Thanks in advance |

If the starter is spinning and the bendix is not engaging, check the bendix. KTM units used to fail as the gears started to spin on the shaft and you had to replace the bendix. That could have happened to yours if the bendix has siezed up.
The beefed up battery leads need to be done anyway as the cable thickness is just not enough to pass the current the starter needs to spin at full speed. If the battery voltage does not drop off when the starter is spinning then I doubt that the battery is at fault. |

Hi,
I tested it with another battery, 11A 230cca, it just did the cliking sound, the theet on the bendix seems good, it turns as it should to actuate, i have the impression that it is getting stuck after it engages. thks. |

When the bendix gear was slipping on my KTM, you couldn't turn the gear on the shaft by hand. It needed the torque from the starter motor to cause it. I had to mark the shaft and gear to see that it was slipping.
