2021 450I uxv cranks over 1 time then stops
« on: June 12, 2024, 03:23:05 PM »
Hello, I have a 2021 450 i I purchased from a local person about 6 months ago. When I went to look at it it cranked over slow but started. Owner said it was sitting for a couple months so battery was low. I drove it and all was good. It had 850 miles on it. I took it up to our mountain property and it always cranked slow but eventually would start. We put about 40 miles on it and 1 morning it wouldnt start at all. I ordered a aftermarket starter, and got a new battery. Put them both in and it cranked good for 1 revolution then stopped dead. I let it sit and tried it again it did the same thing. I took the plug wire off and no change. Removed spark plug and it spins right over. I could smell the starter smelled burnt so i got another 1. Put it on and it started and ran great. Next day it only would crank over 1 turn and stop again. I wondered if the battery didnt have enough amps so i put a solar charger on it over night. That worked for a couple days. Now nothing I do can i get it to crank more than 1 revolution. I even put a new 300 amp lawn mower battery in it and nothing. I hooked it up to my truck without it running and still wont crank. I have talked to dealers and none have a clue. They all want me to bring it in so they can scan it and trouble shoot it. That will cost me more than its worth. Anyone know if there in a compression relief in these things, or had the same problem? Thanks

humor me, check the oil to make sure you haven't flooded it with gasoline, almost sounds like a hydro lock

I have done that. Thought the same thing. I have read where people say they have a decompression on the cam but nobody has said what engine they were working with.

that was the only thought I  have, my '15 450i is 100% dealer serviced, never had motor issues, 9 years old now, still runs like new

Wish I had a dealer. Nobody within a couple hours I have talked to has any clue. They are all scooter dealers. The thing runs great when i can get it to start!

I'm lucky that way, dealer is 6 miles away, that said, they usually come pick up my bike or utv and bring it back when finished. I have unique relationship, owner of the dealership is one of my clients (land surveying, environmental science, land use consultant). We barter services quite often, and when I don't barter, I have 30day terms

Welcome here!
First thing you should do:
-check your regulator/rectifier whether its producing enough DC ~ 14.2 - 14.5 volts

For this you jumpstart with a big battery and read with a multimeter on black and red cables which charge your battery from reg/rect.
If its under 13VDC, your reg is south.

Come back for Qs.
Happy and safe scootering, Ruffus
