#11 Re: Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangxi and Zhejang, or how I spent 1300km on my new X5 (day 5)10-29-2013, 12:12 AM
Hi, yes... we never worked out what the black stuff was... I suspect some poor material which was scratched off during driving, or some really poor fat/lubricant whihc got too hot and cooked together.... really not sure
The bike didn't start because of 3 things:
1) the start button gave up his job
2) this melted the electric starter engine I guess with some short circuits
3) the starter couldn't spin with that black stuff in there
The 3500rpm thing is a bit weird as well as it's not the engine nor the fuel injection. But it was the other way around:
It cut out BELOW 3500 RPM...
I suspect that even while driving the starter spins with the engine and as it was only fixed temporarily it sometimes blocked again and caused the engine to drop dead as the RPM went so much down in those situation and killed the engine... (i.e. when I was fast enough to pull the throttle the bike coughed a bit and all was good again )
Ah, one addition: we replaced all 3 things and the bike is rattling soft and sweet as a cat again...Last edited by Snev313; 10-29-2013 at 12:14 AM. Reason: added comments

Weird huh?
At least though it sounds as though it was a fairly easy fix. Interesting about the starter button getting stuck and then short circuited. Similar thing occurs on the Suzuki Burgman 650's. Starter button gets stuck from time to time, usually from accumulated grime and such like (easily fixed with a spray of lubricant into the switchgear). The starter though does not stay engaged ones the engine fires, so no harm done to the starter motor itself. Generally one only becomes aware that the starter is stuck is when one notices the starter hasn't 'popped' out/returned after being pressed, or the headlights are off. Headlights on the Burgman 650's are permanently wired on, and only go out in normal operation when either the starter is engaged or headlight fuse is blown. The burgman 650 has separate fuses for high and low beams.
Anyway good to know you got your X5 sorted. Watching developments with interest.
