I originally bought the bike knowing very little about it, almost expectantly i've had problem after problem but nothing large amounts of TLC shouldn't fix (I hope).
My intention was to supermoto it and i've almost completed that faze barring the brake.
First problem
Currently the E starter isn't engaging and the bugger seems impossible to kick with the amount of compression this thing seems to have. Bump starts are hilarious and a nightmare requiring two people and decent amount of dry road.
The battery seems fine and the bike used to start of the button but now it seems like the starter clutch isn't engaging.
I figure i'll take the alternator cover off and inspect the starter gears but i'm not entirely sure what i'm looking for if all the teeth are intact ?
Second problem
The bike when running would cut out randomly sometimes after 5 mins sometimes sooner or longer, then I would have trouble starting it as the battery seemed low. Perhaps alternator issues but before I could check the voltage the starter has faulted so haven't had time to check yet. Could it be electrical, perhaps a short, need to check spark plug and still but if anything else comes to mind i'm open to suggestions.
