As long as your bike is in good working order, the fuel, ignition and clutch are all working, it rolls freely and there’s a good battery for the bike starter then your bike should start.

Check your terminals/posts to make sure there is no clear coating or other matter resulting in a poor connection (Even highly polished posts or terminals will cause a poor connection)

It’s either a poor connection or an under powered battery. The battery needs to be at least 520cca and be hooked up directly to the leads provided. (have your battery Load Tested before purchase so you know that it has the full cca and not an old battery that has been sitting on the floor)

We recommend any battery that is 12volt & 520cca* minimum and is close to 240 x 170 x 209cm in size. Lead batteries are preferred. AcDelco 22F520SMFDF, AcDelco 22F600SMF or equivalent, as long as it is more than 520cca & fits in the cradle.

* CCA = Cold Cranking Amp.

Our Bike Starters will not work with jumper leads, starter packs or any kind of connection between the battery and the starter motor (The starter motors we use are powerful & draw a lot of amperage while starting) so we don’t recommend it.

No, we only make 12volt battery operated starters. We use powerful diesel engine starter motors for both the 2.2KW & 2.5KW models.

Most people use second or third gear, clutch in and press the Bike Starter foot switch. Once the rear wheel is spinning , bounce on the seat and release the clutch leaving the throttle closed. Then feather the throttle and the bike should fire. Whip in the clutch and take your foot off the starter switch. There is a bit of technique involved but it’s not hard to master.

All Bike Starters are tested before packing however we do understand that sometimes things can go wrong, If you have any problems we will do our best to get you going.
