2015 E-start burned

[Dj_Zorba]

Hello, my starter stopped to engage today and i tought my battery was dead, so i bought a new battery and the problem was still there. I measured the voltage to make sure the starter got power and it did.
I bolted of the starter-motor (witch was extremely easy) and checked it and it was very heavy to turn around, i opened it up and the smell was horible and as you can see in the picture its burned.

Can you guys help me with where i can find a replacement? or are there some smart fix for it?

xoxo Zorba

DB Electric
Arrowhead products

I tried searching but there are plenty of different DB electric and Arrow headproduct starter, can you please specify witch one will fit?

Thank you very much.

A 2015 model with a burned out starter? Geez, you would think there would be some kind of dealer warranty on something like that. I hope Gasgas has big plans on updating the starters on the upcoming models.

Thank you very much.

I have a 13 so it's different. Is there any manufacture/part numbers on it?

 

[Dj_Zorba]

Didnt find any number on it, so I believe part number should be EE80000GG-CBR-2 thats the only number I have to go by

 

[Dj_Zorba]

Someone? Can you fix a burned starter somehow?

 

[gasgasman]

Any automotive starter rebuilder can redo the windings. You just have to find one.

I have a starter motor off of a 2014 - if they are the same, I'll make you a great deal on it.

15 gg starter motor is the same as a ktm 300.

 

[Dj_Zorba]

Thanks for all the answers.

CombatYoga: It looks the same very much like the same, but i live in scandinavia so transport from wherever you live might be expensive.

Rubberjohnny: Is it the same as the 2015 model?

 

[Dj_Zorba]

Will this starter fit?

It looks identical.

KTM 300 starter has been the same fitment since they started but the uprated the power in either 2013 or 2014 from 350w to 410w. You want the newer 410w motor. ebay starters have mixed reviews, they have no quality control so pot luck if you get a good one or not.

 

[Dj_Zorba]

Okay! Thank you very much rubberjohnny. I will shoot for the arrow 410w starter then

 

[Dj_Zorba]

Okay so i now got my Arrow 410w new starter installed and still no luck............. fuck. I tried the motor un mounted and I spinned good. But fitted i wouldnt work. I have a brand new lithium battery so that cant be the issue, i also tried with the sparkplug off and still, no spinn. What to do now?

Is the Ground. good??

Test the starter unmounted with an external battery to confirm it spins OK. Grab the spinning shaft with a glove, it should have lots of torque. So if it is attached to the motorcycle starter cable and grounded (but not mounted), does it also spin fine when you push the start button?

If so that would seem to indicate the wiring, fuses and starter relay are OK. Any chance the starter can't do anything because the ring gear teeth are broken or jammed? If the contacts in the starter relay are in poor shape, there may not be enough current getting to the starter motor to crank when it's under load.
