The starter and battery would lucky to be 1-1.5kg. Is it broken already?

Yes, 410w ktm starter with polarity reversed. See thread in electrical section.

No worries, I managed to fool proof mine by adding a second 12v battery making it a 24v starter system. A few people on here have done it too and it's well worth it IMO.

It only meshes with the flywheel gear when the button is pushed. Centrifugal forces expands the bendix causing it to engage the flywheel. The new cover should help, if you remove the starter does the gear inside the ignition case spin easily? If so, the starter may be weak. Check out the...

Riding sand at the moment. Temp was 12-15degs. MJ: 172 PJ: 42 Needle: NEDW clip #2 Having changed from 175mj to a 172mj made a massive difference, bike feels like it's got nitrous now in the top half of throttle. Also runs nice and clean. I have bought a Beta 200rr that will become the bush...

Finally had a good test of my 24v starter system in a race last weekend. Faultless, started cold in seconds. Started in gear etc. Its worth doing IMO, I just used a Honda Z50 battery which is a AGM not lithium. I will be riveting some proper terminals onto the spade connectors eventually. I...

There was a good video showing this. I think I linked it earlier in this thread.

Thanks for the heads up

Intresting, definitely wasn't an issue on mine. Pictures of the offending artical?

I struggled the first few times, but you get the hang of it eventually. The hooks take some concentration to get in

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?

Mine stopped working again this weekend. Went from starting to nothing, not even a click. I'm thinking relay at this early stage.

Shinko 525 cheater is exceptional, more versatile than the 505. Have run a gt333 which was nice but no where near the same traction as the shinko.

[QUOTE=Anders;197627] HN2016 are available from e.g. simply bearings in the UK I shouldve been more specific, I could get them but the cheapest good quality I could find were $20aud each before shipping and that was without seals. So financially it made sense to go OEM. Wish I knew Factory...

I have the fly patrols, super heavy duty, a little warm in the hot weather but they have vents that can zip open. I like them.
