Starting problems DRZ400
Hi All
I hope someone can help with this my son has a DRZ400 and is having problems starting it
We have done all the normal stuff
New battery
New plug
Which has made things better but it is still a pain to start
I have had a look at it today and have removed the small inspection cover on the left hand side of the engine
When I spin the engine over on the starter the engine goes round then sounds like its going to fire it then looks like its backfiring as the end of the crank goes back the other way if you keep the starter button pressed it then spins the engine back the right way and the same thing happens again
This is all happening very fast with the engine making a sort of popping noise like its going to start and most of the time in the end it will but every now and then the battery ends up flat and the bike Hasn’t started and as he rides it to work every day its starting to be a bit of a pain
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
My thoughts are Starter Clutch?
Or is the timing a bit out?
