2007 FE550 Hard to start after falling

fefy · Nov 12, 2017

Hi,
I have 2007 FE550.
When the bike drops on the ground, it does not want to start with the e-starter as if the one-way bearing does not engage. I start with the kick starter and after 15 minutes of engine operation I can easily start with e-starter. The one-way bearing is with tight spring.

Any help would be most appreciated.

you just need to strengthen the starter gears. I do a little kit called the starter repair kit (SRK). also, fully synthetic will do this.

Maybe I did not say exactly. I've made such modifications. The e-starter works. The problem occurs when the bike is dropped /fallen as a result of my mistake/. I think the engine oil lubricates more and it does not engage.

How much oil you got in the engine?????? Is it hydraulicing? Is the oil inhibiting it to start and when siting for a bit then works? Thinking when the bike has fallen the oil is blocking movement?? Just a thought as the bike should start on its side, upside down and in the air?
