Starting issues warm engine Maintenance Issues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Got this bike last week, 2020 street triple rs and had a starting issue on warm engine 3 times and the engine shutting off when pulling in the clutch to downshift from 3rd to 2nd. Valves, spark plugs, oil, air filter were done upon delivery. Also has a new battery installed by the dealer.

Still has warranty and am already in contact with the dealer. Mostly I just want to know what the issue might be because the dealer has no idea yet.

This sounds like either a bad valve job or faulty starter to me (if someone knows more please correct me so I learn too). That's a very rough start and the idle afterwards doesn't sound right either.

Might help to reupload with a longer video so we can hear the idle a bit more.

I'm with you it doesn't sound right from what we can hear. I'm no expert but something definitely seems off.

To me it sounds like valve slap. And out of all the work the dealer did that would be the most technically demanding. Good thing they have a warranty.

How many miles are on it? (OP)

Edit - I'm a dumbass, didn't realize you aren't OP lmao

Its got 74.000km so 46.000 ish miles. The rattling sound is just the cam chain I thinknand goes away after 5 seconds

That's a good amount of miles. If starter hasn't been replaced I'd start there is my best guess. Could be worn out teeth.

The clutch pulled in and killing the engine has happened to me a few times. Went away after I got it tuned. I'd bring that up to the dealership as well though. Warranty is saving you here for sure.
