I just purchased this almost brand new 04 FE650E and can't use the E-start. The bike works perfectly but will not start even when the bike is hot and when the battery is fully charged. If I use the kick, it will start with one kick most of the time even cold so it is not a setup problem. It feels like that there is so much compression that even with the best battery can't move this piston fast enough to get it started.
This is my first Husaberg so I am not familiar with their peculiarities. The Husaberg dealer in my area is not familiar with the 04 as he started selling Husaberg in 05 but says there is an upgrade for the 04 starter clutch (I think that is the part he mentioned) that could cure the problem.
I used a battery charger in the starting mode (70 A) and the bike started but can't say it started easily though. The starter feels very different than my previous DRZ 400.
Any input on this would help. For now, it is a very small detail compared to the amount of adrenalin this bike is giving me (too bad, snow is coming)!
Merci!
