Hello!
I wish my first post here would be about something fun and exciting but no.. Its about my beloved xt600e -90 that is a somewhat of a bitch right now.
It all started when the ground cable from the battery came partly undone and the bike, (obviously) wouldt start. But before i noticed what was wrong the bike started (i guess the cable got contact again) and i drove it for about 30min. I then noticed it and screwed it back into place but now when i press the start-button, all that happens is that the startmotor spins without turning the engine over. Its "freewheeling". Its also impossible to run-start the bike and it bangs from the exaust from time to time when tried. No life at all
The symptoms for the starter seem to be that the starterclutch/sprang-clutch is faulty but it seems strange that it happend in relation to the ground problem.
The sparkplug is completly new and does produce a spark, the engine isnt flooded, the fuel/air mix is fine and the cables are connected to where they suppose to be.
If anyone have any idea what this is about i will be so gratefull! I know it will soon be winter but one last ride would mean the world to me.
Thanks
