ok thanks for the info was not sure how that type of starter worked ,will take the cover of and try to see what is going on in there. probably would have been better if the starter was bad

Easier for sure.

Did he ever find out what the problem was, because I'm having the same problem. Gear 5 spins freely one way and not the other, until I rotate it enough and find a spot where it rotates the other way. On a 2019 z1000.

mine did have a rough time starting in the cold a couple times, but i've come to just cycle the key and kill switch about 4 times and just wait until the pump stops priming. I don't really know if its actually what the problem is, but it seems to give it a better chance of staying running when I do start.

Yes in Busco. Just wanting to know how bad it's gonna be.

Hey are you guys going to mud bash in 2020? Cuz I'm planning on being there with my brother and some other friends. And don't really trust them all that much when they say I'll be fine without being lifted, or with anything special being done.
