Is there a problem with the starter on the KZ750?
We have a weird problem though…..it won’t start with the electric starter. It starts on one or two kicks but won’t fire with the starter. It turns over quickly and smoothly…not a mechanical issue.

I suspect the energy used to spin the engine leaves too little juice for the plugs.
