hard starting found problem, now what?

[elmostro]

starter? what else can be? why when is hot the engine just need some extra juice to turn over? even with batt charger connected and batt fully charged the engine won't turn over when hot.

i bet it is fuel..... at least the plugs are running ok now i know how it feels i had my baby stolen 2 weeks ago and waiting to get it back from the dealers after repairs frustrating

[elmostro]

sorry to hear that, thought i had problems, i hope everything work out fine

[elmostro]

plugs all 4 cyl are working fine, but the hard start is kicking my butt, i just tried my neighbor battery and the same thing engine hard to turn over, don't know what else, but the starter.

[elmostro]

how can you tell if you have a bad starter or your starter is going bad? i don' think my injectors are bad when the bike is running everything run fine, the bike just go, strong and smooth, no hesitation wont shut off or anything, she just go. today i was doing 160 quick hard to keep the front end on the road

if you have a friend with a busa or ask here for somone close to you to come and swap the starters over and see what happens there must be someone on here local to you

also try from a set of jump laeds off a car dont start the car just use the battery

if the battery you used is not off a busa it may be too weak to start it up

[elmostro]

it was a 00 busa batt, tried the car thing and nothing. my bat is a 14s better than his. i like to try a diff starter but i doubt my neighbor allow me o do that.

[Prezzo]

it does sound like you have finaly found the problem

bad starter

i would go with the swap around test as a starter can be expensive

did you go on the ukbusa site ?

[elmostro]

nope but i found a couple of starters on ebay going for 130.00 1 year warranty. i don't know i they are reliable or to trust, ebay is like a padora box, you never know what to expect.

[Prezzo]

dont go for the new starter untill you are sure ask on here bet you will find 1 cheaper off 1 of the members

[elmostro]

i doubt that s fuel, just put some fresh fuel few hoursago

[elmostro]

i'll be looking, thanks prezzo

[Prezzo]

sound.... pm me if i can help further.... best of luck mate

[elmostro]

thanks, prezzo

[elmostro]

just did a loat test on batt and it pass batt is good, 14s 235cca result 353cca. batt checked good

Silly question, but does the bike turn over slower when it is hot, or is it just not catching?

[elmostro]

i removed all spark plugs and engiine turns over easy no problem when hot

[mike1180]

Just a suggestion, but if it were me I would spend my next money and do the 24V starter mod. (search on here)
A new starter will be $300 plus, and you can do the 24V mod for the cost of a small second battery and mount (and relay if you go that route, or a wiring harness from Schnitz) or just some wire.
If the starter still has some life in it, that will make it work twice as good.
If the starter gives out then you have to get another (or have that one rebuilt) and you will have the 24V to apply to the new starter, which will make it work much easier.

BTW my 06 turns slower when it is hot. Seems to struggle a bit. If it gets to where you are I am going to do the 24V mod for sure.

put the plugs back eng hard to turn over again
