I fixed the hot start for my FE450 using the valve adjusments as 0.6 turn .
very easy kickstart now, event not necessary to use the decomp when hot.

But the Estart not work.

Accu is just new , Exide AGM 110 A , i have 2 tried electric startes mitsuba in perfect state .

Starter turn over about 3 -4 seconds till stops, but it seems to have a low rpm and fuel not go inside from the carb due a low rpm.

The spring of automatic decomp need to be exchanged, its weak.

Is this Estart problem due decomp-spring? , or the jetting carb ?

I can never cold start mine with the battery and it's a 210CCA Shorai. First start of the day is always a carefully placed kick start. The sprague bearing is the issue when cold. This is supposed to fix it.

button work great when bike is 150*+F.

my bike is a 07 FE450.

My 05 fe450 hasn't had any problems starting with the estart even with an older battery. Will it start with the estart hooked up to a truck battery?

this is a link to my stronger decomp spring.

I am talkin about hot engine condition, low viscosity .
so, its suppose to be the spring ....

I am back , I changed the Taffy spring, but bike wont start E-start, only kick.

The starter turn engine low rpm so will never start like this.. ( maybe 90rpm /min)

I changed starter, electric cables are ok, i tried adding extra cables from a car batteries for test.


What can be the issue that engine turns so heavy by the starter?

the head engine valve springs are not original, i bought bike like this, can be too strong for camshaft torque ?

What about the one way FRAI bearing? but its not slipping when hot, but slipping when cold.

Valve tappets are ajusted.

Shall try Yamaha R6 starter ? Mitsuba SM-14 its for KTM/Husabeg , MITSUBA: SM14-222 its for Yamaha, what will be the difference of starter toque?

-which valve springs are attached?

-if the sprague slips when the engine is cold,it isn´t at its best anymore (the starter clutch could also be a problem,it may be shimmed. though..it has to hold at least 15-20 Nm torque.)

-you say the engine doesn´t turn fast enough...could also be a problem of the starter relais.Check how much current is actually going through to the starter when pushing the start button (also check your battery,although it´s new,for any brutal voltage drop when you hit start)

-the original starter from these years shouldn´t have any problems turning over the engine,the older starters were shit around 2001-2003.

-the Yamaha R6 starter turns the engine over quicker than the OEM starter,it is really only needed for models with the SEM ignition and old Auto-decomp


I hope this helps.

a way to prove that you have the correct tension on the auto decomp spring and also have the correct jetting is to turn the idle down, and down, and down until the engine is trying to stall. if the auto decomp is the correct strength, at this point the ADC will make a clack-clack......clack-clack......clack-clack noise.

maybe one cell is down in the battery. check the battery voltage. there is a black/yellow wire behind the headlamp that must be free and a red/yellow wire behind the radiator.

The decomp spring i bought from Taffy , i turned over one time about 360 degrees like in the movie. but the cam of decomp seems a little worn at the top about 0.5 mm . maybe thats the problem

I plugged 2 strong wires at the starter terminal (bypass relay) and connected them at a 700A car battery for test, resulted same rotation .
maybe I am wront for the rpm of starter , i will post an audio wav

The auto decomp should protrude at least 0.8mm.
