Hi All  ???

I just recently bought a KLE500 and as per usual people always say things are 100% recently serviced, runs like a dream etc, and then on the 2nd day you realise that they were talking K.........

When I try and start the KLE (especially in the mornings or when it is cold), it sounds like the motor turns and then as if the starter is spinning (zeeeeeee) and then when I try start her again it either "clicks" or "zeeeee's" or both.

Do you think this is a starter problem or a battery problem? If it is a starter problem what could be wrong and how would I go about sorting out the problem?

One last questions for all you Guru’s out there....

Any specific reason why the bike may backfire through the carb's? (as that is what it sounds like).

Will really appreciate and comments or feedback.

Matt
