hi, can someone tell me how i should correctly be starting my 2001 mille r as at the moment the battery is on the way out and takes a bit of cranking, so i havent used the bike yet really, but don't want to cause it any damage?
Proper starting procedure
- Thread starter aaronc_rsvr
- Start date
Good, don't crank it over with a duff battery it will destroy your sprag assembly.
Starting these bikes is relatively simples:
I always use the cold start - warm or cold.
I simply adapt the amount of cold start I use to the temperature of the engine, hence engine cold = full cold start - engine warm = small amount of cold start.
If the bike is tuned well the engine will fire up in less than a second of hitting that starter button.

Get yaself a new good quality battery..good info if ya do a thread search here..topic has been covered in great depth..also i think LEGS has done a good startup procedure thread, so advise searching that out also. As amb says, sprag clutch damage can be done very easily on these bikes.
