Hate to bang on about this again, but, have got a mates bike which he bought about a year ago and has never been able to start. The guy he bought it from started it 2nd kick from cold!
Checked all I know, got spark, injector working, fuel pump running, cam timing ok, cam chain not too tight( bit stretched if anything). Starter just can't spin it over fast enough and virtually stalls on compression stroke.
Have since started it by jumping it from a car battery (sounds awesome) but even that's a bit hit and miss.
I did buy a 2nd hand DRZ cam which fits and does run but its not the same profile. The gas gas cam has higher lift and longer duration. The DRZ cam starts easier because the timing is retarded by about 2 teeth which brings in the decompressor later on the compression stroke.
My question is, has anyone found a more powerful starter motor that fits, or a longer kick start lever. What about a larger lithium ion battery?
The bike is in good condition otherwise and it would seem wrong to break it.
