'92 907IE. When I hit the starter button, the bike does nothing for about 1 second then gives a crank and then second crank right away and bike always starts. Just seems to be a delay in starting when starter switch is engaged. Sprang gears have been replaced. Is there a starter relay problem here? On my Aprilia we all went to a Kawasaki starter relay which put out more power and cured the problem. Is there such a thing for this Duc? If so need a maker and part number. I don't believe this to be a battery problem but I won't rule out anything. Thanks for the help.

I have the same problem intermittently. I usually put it in gear and rock the motor to get it off of the compression stroke and it turns over freely after that.

Very definitely is the earthing problem.

this has happened on both my 907's.So far all i have done is fully charge batterys and motor turns over as soon as hit starter.
