In my opinion eStarters are a bit gay, kick starters are the sh1t and thats the way it should be started or compression starting it down a hill

But if the starter is kind of slowing down and doesent produce enough to start you quad, try removing it, cleaning it up, or just knocking it a couple of times with a hammer (as you would do with a car starter thats lagging), if not just change the damn thing, bu i say remove it, and keep kicking that little b1tch!

haha, that could be but i was thinking bad ground or maybe it could need a valve job, my starter goes good and it doesnt slow down at all

it uses a alternator to charge the estarter? i would just kick start it although estarting it is "supposed" to be better for engine

the thing that sucks is that i dont have a kickstart.. elec. only, i would rather have a kick start but they suck in cold weather

i would just jump start it by pushing it then poping the clutch and some gas, untill you get it fixed, is it still under warranty?

nope, but dirt wheels says it could be valves, so i might just have the head ripped off and get the valves adjusted cause i think im gonna put a high comp. piston in it anyways
