Just bought this bike a week ago. Halfway through the first tank of gas (not even broke in yet), and IT WONT START. I press the starter and all I get is a “click”.
Charged the battery, checked the connections at the battery and starter, check plug connections, and tapped the starter thinking it might be froze up.
I can bump start the bike, and it runs fine.
Anybody have idea about what might be going on?
(Also, it has gas! So let’s get that out of the way)

You need to do a load test on the battery. I will almost bet you will find it to be low under load.
Your next step would be to replace the battery with an after market LI battery.

You say you tested the battery....What was the loaded voltage ?

The Shop
Took it into the dealer and they said that one of the gears in the starter fused itself to the idler shaft in the starter.
8 days with the new bike, 4 days in the shop.
Off to a good start!
