hey guys.
went for a ride to run in my new motor but as i was beginning the ride and starting the bike, it was hard to start with the e-start button.
I pushed the e-start button and it kinda did 1 little crank but as i continued to hold the button down, there was no cranking at all. it was just like pushing a button that does nothing.
I kick started the bike, started nice and easy and ran the whole time.
the e-start did work once the bike was warmed up.
i troubleshooted the battery, its reading 13.5 volts which is normal, so its not the battery. all the lights work correctly. it has a brand new stator, the battery is also fairly new. it has a brand new spark plug in it also, valves are brand new, timed correctly.
im wondering, could it be ignition coil on its way out? or the pulser coil on its way out?
i know its either 1 or the other. not sure if its starter motor but there are no indications it is the starter motor.
its hard to explain but since the ride, its done it intermittently but eventually starts working the more i press it(even when the motor is cold). It will be hard to start/crank using the e-start but as I keep trying and keep pressing it will eventually start working again.
what does it sound like it is?
