i got the kfx out to wash it today and when i tried to start it, it made a noise like the starter was stuck or something, similar to the sound of a almost dead battery then i flipped that on/off switch off then back on then it started up fine (which is what makes me think the battery is fine)....has this happened to anyone? or any ideas on what it might be?

thanks

I think that the KFX's have the same type of sensor that the LTR's do. I guess when you flip an LTR over you have to turn the key off and the killswitch then push them back on and they'll start, so I'm thinking that the KFX's have the same type of sensor( roll over sensor is waht its called on the LTR) and when you were washing your bike did you flip it up in the air to clean anything underneath? Also did you stick a plug up the exhaust when you washed it? cause I forgot to stick my plug in my exhaust one time and my quad did the same thing that yours is doin because I got a little bit of water in the exhaust. Hope this helped you
