Sounds eerily like stator. I have an FC 600 and it was a bear to start although it would bump start quite nicely. I checked the spark and it was definitely weak so I sent my stator off to Sparks. In the meantime, I installed the stator from my spare FE501 engine with a known good stator and it's SUPER easy to start now. Can't wait for my Sparks stator to arrive.

It kind of sounds like the '02 FE650 I used to have when the stator was failing. It wouldn't produce enough spark at kick starting speed to fire the motor but if you did get it started ran fine until you shut it off. I got a new ignition from BOSS and it started real easy after that. It seems like the new stator was about $350-$400.

Bergman, if your bike use the SEM stator I suggest you rewind it. Contact Sparks. My FE501e '02 star pretty well. Good luck !! :cheers:
