Symptoms | Possible Cause | Resolution |
---|---|---|
Factory Fault | ||
low engine oil, high gearbox oil, and oil in airbox |
a bad oil pump seal allows engine oil to be pumped into the gearbox and then into the airbox | replace oil pump seal |
engine shreds itself | insufficiently secured stator bolts | loctite and torque all six bolts securing the stator |
starter fries | loctited/sticky decompression valves | replace decompression valves/springs and replace starter |
starter fries | old starter gear ratio | replace starter gears with the new ratio gears and replace starter |
misfires while starting, and hard starting |
the software firing procedure allows the engine to misfire at start | upgrade ECU software to most recent version |
Technition Fault | ||
poor performance, hard starting, or engine surging |
these bikes are pretty new to the market, and a lot of dealers are incompetent at setting up and tuning them | find a better dealer nurse assistant education guide - cna classes online |
grinding/creaking noises from rear wheel | rear axle was overtightened | replace rear wheel bearings and tighten axle with proper torque |
backfires | blown exhaust gasket (they are very thin and sometimes overtightened) and possibly bent flange plate | replace exhaust gasket preferably with a thicker one and flatten flange plate |
oil in airbox | overfilling oil | drain oil from airbox and change oil according to the proper oil change procedure |
