so my f4i did this a while ago, so i pop started it and it ran fine and it started once i turned it off. Now its doing it again, and the bike will pop start and sometimes it will randomly start. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks

It would still flip up and prime if the starter was busted. Check the starter. Probably gunna have to take the tb's off cuz its a bitch to get to.

I've had things like that happen with a toasted battery. Might want to try swapping batteries with a friend first to find out.

I'd say the starter. but It sounds like it's spinning. My guess would be the starter clutch is worn out. It happened on my pops bike last year.

I didn't even watch the video, but I know that ignition switches go bad in f4i's. could be that, I'm not sure how to tell
