2018 xc300 starter update
Update on the POS starter. Previous work-
All cables upgraded.
AS3 bendix cover with allen head bolts & thicker gasket.
New bendix with lighter spring modification.
Converted to a 24v system(x2 Li-ion batteries).
Wet modification.
This worked most of the time...
yeah I could have written another novel about gasgas starter repairs.Just as well it has sold.I'm thinking of selling my 2018 later this year,considering a Sherco. Is that mid life dementia?
I did that as well.Put a teflon coated bronze bush in.I have spent so much time on the starter system & it still won't consistently restart in gear.POS.
Hi,just as a check to make sure the gears are not binding,pull apart the old starter & take the spline out,stick it in the starter hole & turn it by hand.Fairly common to have the bendix bind on the cover or the small gear.
We have a Reiju dealer in NZ?
Looking at buying a new bike later in the year & replacing my 2018 XC300.But I might keep as it may be the last carb bike I have. Also went to a Yamaha demo day & really liked the YZ250FX which surprised me.
Had the same thoughts but having a gasgas vedimia or Reiju in NZ will be like having a Betamax video player.
Yes to name change.I feel sorry for new gasgas owners that stumble into this site like a possum in a gin trap.
Thanks All,
Enduropuro won't ship to NZ.
Bottom end Gasket kits are hard to find, may need to purchase from multiple suppliers but have a US supplier who may have all of it.
